The first question posed is "Describe your work ethic", and I do not particularly care for the question. This probably indicates a bit of guilt on my part. I would say my discomfort to this question stems from my recogniton of knowing I must stay on top of my self-care to be effective. I am a very effective worker when it comes to things I like doing or that I am comfortable doing. When it comes to areas I feel uncomfortable, I get anxious and balk or procrastinate. I get my work done, but I do work best if there is flexibility with the schedule.
I have sought training outside the classroom. I had been working with MCYRJP prior to starting my internship here, and I have volunteered at the health care center quite a bit as well. I also have been working at the district level of AA for 2 years now, and I have just been elected as the district treatment chair.
My classes started out fine. I was keeping up well. My grades are good as far as I know, but I am feeling as if I am starting to go under. To make it even better, I start another class this coming week.
As far as self-care goes, I have seen a psychologist, I go to my meetings, I talk with my supervisor, pray and read The Bible daily, I am scheduled as a speaker for the upcoming recovery retreat at St. Anthony's, and spend extra time with Brett thru the summer. We even went to the WI. Dells!
