Well, I'm away tomorrow for a much needed break with my lovely girlfriend! True to my style, we have nothing organised and are just gonna see where we can get ourselves booked into for a night (hopefully in Donegal or summit). To be honest, its about time I got away. My job doesn't really facilitate weekends away as most of my weekend is taken up with work (exceptions being most saturdays with the lads!). However, this is the first friday night I have been off in ages, and we just decided, lets go for it!
I'm hoping that I will be well rested (even though it only is for one night), as Summer Madness rapidly approaches, and there is much more to be done during summer. So i ask you, spare a thought for us poor youth workers who have much stress at this time of year.
Peace

you bringing a ring?
Eh...no thanks Dave, although, if you are up for it 'I'm your man!'
Passed Portadown on the way home...it stinks
As a teacher, how can I have sympathy for youth workers? They have the nice part of working with kids, and as you pretty much have week days off, I think you should stop whinging like a bi-atch!!
Interesting anonymous; its nice of you to be so considerate, but since you are at it...
Teacher=work for 9 months, 5 days a week, 9am-4pm (unless you partake in extra-curricular activities which you get paid for!)
Youth Worker=work most evenings, weekends and daytime (perhaps not as much during the day, but we certainly have a lot to do)! We also don't have the safeguards that teachers do in the classroom as well as pay (which is considerably lower than the average teacher). And lets not factor in Summer Madness which is 8 days looking after 30 + youth, with very little sleep and StreetReach.
So whilst I wasn't trying to compare any particular situation/job do count your blessings. But look forward to your summer holidays, cos I do actually believe that teachers deserve a nice long break!
Peace
Gee you make it sound like Teaching and Youth Work are both awful jobs!
