Smile, I have been this almost four years. I am getting use do it.

Sunday 8am to 9pm
Monday 6am to 230pm Federal; 3pm to 11pm Group Home
Tuesday 6am to 230pm Federal; 3pm to 11pm Group Home
Wednesday 5am to 100pm Federal; 1pm to 11pm Group Home/ Meeting
Thursday 7am to 330pm Federal (sometime work 3pm to 11pm)
Friday 7am to 330pm Federal
Saturday OFF (sometime willing work coverage as emergency shift).

I usually get home 11:30pm during Mon thru Wednesday. Get up at 530am, play and feed with a puppy, Katie and two cats =^..^= Pumpkin and Garfield before I go work.

Work at the Group Home, it is not really bad. Just administrate the medication to the clients, cook a dinner, feed them, do the craft, chore the house, chat with them or take them out to shopping or entertainment. Get them for bed. Clients usually go to bed at 8pm. I relax to do paperwork, medication arrangement, watch the T.V. or chatting with friends on my pager until 11pm.

It is very important what you have a good approach with the clients, their behavior are very stable. I work with them almost 4 years, they trust me. It is very rare to seeing client become aggressive or medical emergency. Yes, it cause very stressful. So far, the clients are very good. I enjoy working with Deaf people more than Federal Government.

Of course, I am burnt out at the end of day. I need to support my son's college tuition, car loan, insurance, mortgage, house insurance and condo fee.

If I have a man who is millionaire, I may quit Federal Government. :lol: I would choice Human Service agency than Federal due to communication effectively.

That's kind of excessive. You should be living in France instead. They'll give you a whole lot of vacation just because you work that much!

Will you pay me the expense moving down to France? :D

By the way, I admire your blog- you are very brilliant young man !! You should write a book about the Deaf culture and language. It is very educational to the hearing people.

However, I want to send a picture of my sons's Deaf half brother to your email. Hard to believe, you look so much like him. PM me.
 
I work 37.5 a week and it is flexiable. I can work an extra time like 30 mins or an hour to build it up to 7.5 hour for a day off. I got next Monday off, whoo hoo! That's my first flexi day off since starting work just over a month ago. :)

That was how it was for me working on the weekends at the group home. It is like living at my 2nd home taking care of 4 grown up children. I go food shopping, give them meds, cook them dinner, and take them to fun places. That was why I was able to handle working 80 hours a week every week for 2 years. Things became difficult when I got pregnant and I developed all these health problems.

I wish I had hours like yours, lol.

When I was younger I used to work 60 to 65 hrs per week. I used to work for making floppy disk of the computer and it was a fun job. I love it there. I quit and move on to another job which I shouldnt have done that. Oh well. Life goes on.
