Work is gradually falling into place although the job does seem huge and today when I met for the first time all the other CCDO's I wondered where I fitted in. I also think most of them are much younger than me and although its good to be considered youthful enough to fit in with the team I also found myself feeling a mixture of awe at their knowledge and confidence when so young and slight resentment that its taken me much longer to get here. Then I tell myself I started out later and with more disadvantage of being a mature student ect.
I wonder where the Hard to reach families come into this apart from being a family that benefits from having a service and then to be honest it seems to be a service given to them rather than them being empowered to make their own decisions. But its early days yet and although I definetly do not want to forget the people and children I need to throw myself into the ethos of the place first and then take my own skills and knowledge and try to encourage a different way of working hopefully.
Had to drive to Jaywick today so that was a long and boring drive which made me sleepy,
Going to Jane's tonight for a Chinese and I am not drinking which is boring but I have a late night tomorrow night as its Christine and I's leaving do at the Axe and Compasses. I make it 16 people coming and I hope they all turn up and the thing is a success...again another night without alcohol.
I'm also not sure that I am going out on Friday. They are talking about going to the Fountain but I am really not too keen. I think it will be the same old same old and I don't know that I feel like flirting and stuff like that at the moment.
Still feeling a bit fed up with friends I guess.
Mood - still up and down although mainly up and excited about work
Money - eek I darn't look!!!
Health - very good
News - Northern Rock and possible scares about recession etc
Weather - sunny today but with a definite autumn feeling in the air.
