Intakes & Co-worker bonding

I feel like I have learned initial gathering of clients, intake, and the case manager assignment aspects of the organization very well. I am excited to learn more about the rest of the client process past the intake interviews and assignments. I have also really enjoyed getting to know the staff better through lunches and just chatting throughout the day. It reminds me how important a strong sense of community and support is in workplace when working in stressful/busy work situations, like many social service agencies.
Today there were also numerous ‘white’ jokes flying around. For example, I ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch. I was made fun for this and told it was a ‘white girl’ food. I also was standing in between two co-workers of mine and was called out by another co-worker passing by that we must like zebras.. I already love my co-workers.
