We had a half day at work today and now off bar one morning until Jan 2nd! This is the first time in my working life I've ever had this as I was a mental health services manager for 20 years and a support worker before that and if anything Christmas was our busiest time.ive worked at least every other Christmas Day and spent many of them with clients who are really struggling, whilst missing my family, and rushing round like an idiot trying to fit everything in around work.I now work in a sort of related, mainly advisory role and our office is shut over Christmas. This is lovely! But I almost don't know what to do with myself!
Sending lots of love to those not fortunate enough to break up for Christmas and thanks- as it's usually service industries or Health/care - the jobs that make life either nicer or better for others. I hope you all get at least bit of time off...
