1. Things will always take at least twice as long as they seem like they should.
2. Never EVER let someone go past thier noon meds. EVER.
3. Just when you know someone well enough to know that they won't do any of the bad things they say they want to....they'll do them.
4. Being "the nice girl" means that everyone will talk to you more than they will other people, but they won't necessarily respect what you say when you try to teach them something or give them advice.
5. Therapists are your best friends.
6. Psychiatrists are fucking gods.
7. If no one is laughing at you or trying to fire you, you probably know what the hell you're doing even if it constantly feels like you have no idea.
8. If you act like you know what you're doing, people will believe that you do.
9. Paperwork was invented by the devil.
10. Being a workaholic is going to send you to an early grave (if you work too late at a social services place, you can feel another 3 years peel off of you for every minute you're there after quitting time).
11. You cannot control other people and it is pointless to get upset when someone does something other than what you would like--it will only serve to add grey hairs to your head.
12. Everyone has at least one positive quality.

hahah trey.
actually... if you're a social worker, almost anything can be reframed to a positive.
If someone steals, they are "resourceful". if someone lies they are "creative". If someone's obnoxious they are "persistent" or "boisterous". Of course, stealing, lying and being obnoxious are bad. But the energy and idea behind those things isn't necessarily bad... It just needs to be directed differently.
