Our lives are amazing why waste them not wanting to turn the knob at your own front door

Going through my old clinical supervision bin, I came across a balled-up piece of paper. I read it and the words still break my heart. I share it with you in its entirety as it is a glimpse into the world of life of a front line social worker working in Community Mental Health.
My Email: I have compiled an agenda for this Sunday’s meeting, along with supporting evidence (although my plan is to remain silent, take notes, and speak only when I am asked direct questions). I am not sure how to ask the nepotism question, besides being direct. In addition to _______. working at _______. , _______. is also working (I have not met her- our first shift together will be this Sunday). Staff and clients informed me she is the daughter of _______. , who now head of _______. (and is her first cousins with _______. ). I am aware that _______. has picked up all of _______. ’s hours ( _______. resigned and now works on-call), but _______. and other staff have found _______. obtaining all these hours to be unfair. It is my hope they speak up for themselves at the meeting.
In other news, Sunday, _______. arrived with an intern who can only work Sundays. From what I gather, the intern will be a peer to _______. clients. She used to be affiliated with _______. and they offered her an assessment internship. She needs to complete 25 hours as part of this program (Have you heard of this?). I spent Sunday giving her a tour and allowing her to finish _______. ’s inventory list, which I did the bulk of on Saturday. I believe this task was a great introduction for her to learn where things were and all that _______ has to offer. This Sunday I am hoping to tackle our back supply closet and/or have her sit at the desk and assist clients with appointments and resources. My question for you is, can I count these hours as double as I’m essential doing my job and taking on a teaching role?
I look forward to your input!
Agenda
Visualize yourself in the center of a circle composed of those who have been kind to you, or have inspired you because of their love. Perhaps you’ve met them or read about them; perhaps they live now, or have existed historically or even mythically. That is the circle. As you visualize yourself in the center of it, experience yourself as the recipient of their love and attention. Gently repeat the phrase of loving-kindness for yourself: May I be safe, may I be happy, may I live with ease- Sharon Salzberg

Today is a 6 — Tie up loose ends and take a break. Avoid controversy or fuss. Savor peace and quiet. Review where you’ve been and consider what’s ahead.

Today is a 7 — Don’t try to force anything. You get more with honey than you do with vinegar. Move in the direction of least resistance. Strengthen supports.
