So I got to work today, and apparently this is what happened. We got the word that our house was closing for Christmas, so our supervisor gave the two people who worked (me and my shift partner) the time off. She informed her supervisor(s) and they said that we were allowed to close, but we were not allowed to have the time off. So my suspicions were correct. We're both working in a house that we've never been in before, with kids we've never seen before, on Christmas. If this was any other time it wouldn't be a huge deal, and if it was one person from another house covering for someone else. However, having two brand new people come in with kids who dont know us and we dont know them, is weird.

A group home, for those that dont know, is where kids who are taken away from their families for various reasons are placed. Over the course of time that you work with them, you build bonds with them. Having two new people come in and tell these kids what to do over Christmas, is in my opinion, not the best idea.

I just feel a bit shafted. My shift partner and I end up working another house so that staff can have the Christmas time off.

/sigh

Does canada have something similar to S.W.A.T.? If you are an officer, you might as well go into that line of work. You don't go on patrol and rarely get calls; but you earn more money and get to handle real guns like sub-machine guns or even assault rifles. (Although your life is technically on the line every mission.) It is quite difficult to get in though, you would need to be dedicated.

Am I missing something or what. Why would you work on Christmas for some crappy, low-paying job?

I don't really have the luxury of not working. I need money to pay bills.

We have something similar, it's called ERT (Emergency Response Team) and I don't have any desire to do that. For the most part you still patrol as a regular officer, you only do ERT "missions" when something happens that calls for it. I want to be on patrol, I don't want to work in an office or sit around doing nothing. As long as I can make a positive impact on the world, or mine around me, I will be happy.

That's horrible man. My advice is to get through it, and hopefully things will pick up.

I wish I could give you a hug, and give you a pat on the back. My best wishes for you.
