This week went to a client's house with colleague. The guy suffer from some skin problem, the skin peel all over his house, got open wounds on his skin too. Then his house got some smell due to poor hygiene. I felt uncomfortable uppn entering his house bcos of the sight of his skin problem, hygiene status of his home and the most unavoidable stench lingering in the house. He has IMH record of social withdrawal and poverty of speech which makes me want to be aware that I cannot harbour any feeling of discrimination and disgust towards him. But I find him quite cute in the end after some conversation with him...but still find him very ke lian given his skin condition.
Don't know what kind of cases will be passed to me to handle man. Scared they see I major in Psychology then will pass me all the psychiatric clients cos I think that is what happened to my colleague. Oh manz. Such clients very hard to handle bcos the information they give might be inaccurate and therefore make it very hard for us to assess their situation. Best is to handle straightfoward case when client is single, poor and old. Worst is to get complicated family case where got alot of things to clarify and deal with.
By the way, my job title is senior community development officer if you guys not yet know what I am doing. Basically, we assess clients' eligibility in meeting up the criteria we have for our social assistance schemes. Though we have some guidelines to fall back on, alot of times the conclusion of a case depends on the officer who is handling it. Some colleagues very strict, very fast close case if never receive the documents needed.... then their performance rating will be quite good lor as they able to finish closing their cases within the stipulated time frame. Quantity seems more impt than quality in this job it seems, from what I see.

Its a pity that only now den he showed interest in getting back with me. I waited during the first few weeks for that to happen but it never came. Since then, I have moved on and gotten myself readjusted to a carefree life on my own already. Days when I no longer have to prioritize my free days to him anymore, no obligations to follow and no need the extra effort made to consider about another person's thoughts and feelings like before...
If only we have been motivated enough to improve things there and then and avoided the breakup altogether, it would have been better than now to be picking up the bits and pieces all over again... which I am not ready for.
