Lots of Paperwork Which I Despise

I was in a peevish mood when I realized
I have been assigned to be the school counselor at two schools this year.
Always difficult for I have done it before.
Never easy. Lots of extra paperwork which I despise.

Almost impossible to do a good job in this circumstance.
Luckily, yesterday, I sat down next to a counselor whose story is much worse.
After hearing what happened to her, I calmed down a bit 
And did not bite the leg off the supervisor who decided these things.

Rhona Mcferran August 7, 2019 at 1:44 PM I still firmly believe that the idea of paperwork originated from people not having enough real work of their own to do... so they "made up" a job of creatively making more work for everyone else!! :P Hang in there, my friend! *hugs* Caren Krutsinger August 7, 2019 at 9:03 PM I am astounded at how much of my job is WASTED on hours of filling out forms no one needs, reads or cares about in the least.
