My New Job
So I have the coolest job! I work for a company named Chrysalis and I go to a home with four mentally handicapped guys and I get to hang out with them and take care of them and talk to them! I started on Tuesday and yesterday was my first official day. It is so much fun! I have so much to learn from them! Today I am working an extra long shift (2:30pm-12am) and I might be doing it alone because apparently the guy scheduled to work with me sometimes just decides not to show up so it could be an interesting day. I am a little scared for that but I think I can do it! I am so excited to be able to learn from them, I feel like I am actually making a difference in their lives and it is a very good feeling to know what I do is important!

That is a long shift. Hopefully you won't have to do it alone! Good Luck!
Glad you like your job!
FYI: The blog looks really good with the new background...Love the ribbon border.
I disagree, add a couple more hours, and then you can call it a long shift... :) I feel for you with the long hours & late nights! But I'm glad you're liking it!
haha, yeah, well apparently now i'm working a long shift because I came to work at 10am today and I won't go home until midnight..... yeah.... the house manager accidentally scheduled a girl who moved for today so I have to stay because when all the guys get back there has to be two people here. good times... 14 hours! I might try again to get someone else in here.... but I don't know!
Dad and I love your attitude. You do make a difference in many lives and you do see the positive in people. We're proud of you. You'll learn so much!
Having a Job that you like usually outweighs the job that pays alittle more. Unless of course they are WAY overpaying you :D
Longs shifts are 16 hour days.
I use to work a job from 7am to 11pm, go home sleep wake up work again. I probably never do it again, but hey i loved the over time pay. Of course now I am working 50+ hours a week, but I dont mind so much because I get paid for every hour that I work. And Susann and I have decided that any money made by overtime work goes towards fun money.
