Drowning in Paperwork

One of those many days that I am drowning in a sea of paperwork.  The longer I do this job, the more paperwork is added on.  And so many of the forms are the same information, just in a different format.  So what ever agency that wants to track the information has it in their format...

I realize the need for accountability and tracking data.  How else can "evidence based" functions be shown to work or not work if we don't track the data to show it?  But it just gets deeper and deeper. 

How is it in your jurisdiction?  What is your paperwork load like?  Has it gotten to the point where it takes more time away from the things you need to do or would like to do with your probationers/clients?
