Basically I work in care. I have a unique situation with my work. I am employed somewhere but then some of my hours have been contracted out to a home care agency and I am employed by them too.
Sometimes I wish I could streamline this and just go to work in a factory where it will be so much more easier.
The home are agency can be hard. There's always so much to do - there's always policies to read, and courses to go on. Then they also wanted me to update my qualifications and get more modules done.
But then on the other end of the spectrum the other part of my work - they dump a lot of hours and physical work on me which the home are agency doesn't know about.
I remember I did start a course a few years ago and I worked on it for a few weeks and then I went into a period of intense stress and intensity with the other part of my job. I remember one week moving into work and being provided with a room and bed and board but my god, I worked that week. I remember 90 hours one week.
It's just so gruelling. Sometimes I have a balance to my days and then other times it can get so hard and long too.
Then in my private time, it can be bad too in that I need to recover snd I get sick easily now too.
I got a phonecall today from the home are agency - 'I need to talk to you next week'
I know what this is about. This is for the coursework that I was supposed to be doing.
I am not being intentional bad and I am not a lazy person. There is too much work. Every day and every week is different. There are days when I bring home the packed lunch uneaten. Days when I don't even get a chance to change a sanitary pad. And somewhere in between all this crap I have to find time to do courses and other stuff.
I am so going to be in for it next week and I am dreading it.
