To be honest, I've had my fair share of jobs that were grueling. However, the job that I have now would probably be considered the "ideal" job. I'm an intensive in-home counselor and I work with at-risk youths (mostly teenagers). The hours are flexible and I receive an enormous amount of autonomy. HOWEVER...the ONE thing that I would consider to be a "job pet peeve" is...the MEDICAID PAPERWORK.
Although there is not a LOT of it, what we DO haveto complete is ALWAYS strictly criticized and many times we haveto REDO it, ADD a word or phrase, CHANGE this or that (Medicaid is FOREVER changing something). After a while one gets tired of this. I mean, when it comes to assessments, ISP's, 90-day review, etc., they are SUPPOSED to be OBJECTIVE, right? Well, there are people who review this stuff and FORGET that and therefore things become SUBJECTIVE. I figure if so-and-so feels that something needs to be CHANGED, ADDED, OR REDONE, then they should do it themselves, since obviously I did not do it the way that THEY wanted me to do it. You just don't know how much that REALLY urks me.
