Well today we had a 4 hour lecture about child abuse. I felt physically sick and am now re-evaluating my previous position. The worst part is, tomorrow I have to hear more.
I don't want to :( .
Saturday night we had our trivia night and I had a little bit too much to drink. That always happens when I am around people that I like, and our table was in hysterics for most of the night. ESPECIALLY when the guy sitting next to me remembered the acronym to KIT (and he was the only person in the whole place who knew what it stood for)! Bravo Dan!! We kicked on from the trivia night (that just sounds WRONG) to a local wine bar in the village and stayed on there until they kicked us out. We stumbled in the door at 2am. Luckily for me I'm married to the worlds most considerate man and when I woke up on sunday morning, dishevelled - smudged mascara et al, he presented me with panadol, water and banana pancakes smothered in maple syrup. (I did really want McDonalds though
I then had to pay more penance by going to a 5 yo party, upside was I got to eat junky party food and drink soft drink. Aah. To counteract that, this morning I was up at 6am to do my cycle class, before attending caulfield to learn about
genericism (gripping) and then the lecture on child abuse. Luckily there were no slides involved like my other less fortunate friends have had to experience, but the descriptions were enough.
Anyway, I've been out all night at my committee meeting, so I'm off to bed, ni-night.

My sister has been working at DHS for a month Lex, I can ask her if you like if you have any questions. She's on my facebook - the onyl one with the same last name as me
Thanks Jenn,
But I think the past week has shown me that I would not be right for that type of area - I was crying and felt physically sick watching a video showing 'grooming' actions and the steps a child took to tell someone. It was awful. Not sure I could ever face that every day.
