I hear you about the frustration and feeling you are doing other people's work. Do it so that they really miss you after next year The amount of administrative paper work in most social work environments is insane. I would do the best I could with the assignment, figure out how to do the work efficiently and well so when you are a social worker, your work will be organized and done right and quickly out of the way so you have sufficient time for your clients or meetings and appointments, whatever specialty of social work you are aiming for. Use the stressfulness to work on yourself and how you cope, it won't be the last or greatest stressful environment you will be in
