I’m over it

So I work as a social worker at a nursing home specifically long term residents. Today I had essentially a medicaid application/ legal document pushed on me to complete with a resident by the business office woman who doesn’t want to do her own job today because she’s “sick and isn’t even supposed to be here”. I literally couldn’t complete this if I tried and was told “well it’s your job”. I have never done this before so this is news to me. Plus, we need a notary to complete this. Business office woman is one, won’t do it because of above reasoning. Two other notaries in the building read the paperwork and said no not signing it. At this point, this is causing me so much anxiety that I’m ready to just say “write me up for insubordination, I don’t care” and just refuse to do it. Like I…

At this point, this is causing me so much anxiety that I’m ready to just say “write me up for insubordination, I don’t care” and just refuse to do it. Like I don’t understand the paperwork or what these people are even signing. Even getting this woman to do her job as it is, is a nightmare. I don’t want to be doing her job too. Really frustrated. Also lawyer it came from was real sketch, she was emailing me “lol” and emojis. The name on the form was not even the residents name. So sketchy. It’s been causing me so much anxiety that I just don’t know what to do. I’m not even there right now and I’m like obsessing over it because I don’t want to get blamed when there’s an issue but also not be written up because I’m not comfortable doing it. I really need to be out of this field and I’m trying anything I can to get it to happen. I even tried to ask my partner if we can have a kid now just so I can try to slip into the stay at home parent thing and not come back to this nightmare anymore.
