“I think it depends on the situation, but for the most part I would agree.” She sipped on her coffee. “What do you think will be your biggest challenge on the Athena?” Janna asked, crossing her legs at the knee and leaning back in her chair a bit more.

Séan put a hand to his chin as he contemplated the question. “Short term or long term? I’m not sure that I’ll have any big challenges in the long term as time will allow me to adapt and fit in. It will also take time to earn the trust of my patients and some I may never be able to. And that’s the biggest challenge in the short term, there just isn’t enough time to to earn everyone’s trust and be as effective a counsellor. I’ll do my best of course and just hope that it’s enough. Our case loads sound awfully daunting right now.”

Janna couldn’t help but snort. “I’ll say. We’ve got a priority list but there’s only six of us and a thousand people to get through. Now not all of them need an actual assessment, but even if half of them did that’s going to take awhile. We’ve set up a schedule to work through it but we still have to leave room for urgent appointments and boarding evals. All I can say is that there is a lot of coffee in my future,” she said with a grin before siping some more.
