Poetry: Night shift - Poetry - Helium - by Pablothehat
This is a poetic snapshot of when I use to work in child care. and we, (the RSW/Instructors), would take groups of teenagers in to wilds of Scotland and Wales doing abseiling, caving, canoeing, climbing, you know, the Outdoor Activities thing.
Well we would go in all weathers and throughout the winter camping.
Sometimes you just couldn't remain or even get to sleep. Either the kids kept you awake, or you were so wound up by the stress of the job, or it was freezing cold and blowing a gale!

Working with Children
Ever considered working in child care? LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is strange the attitude of people when they discover that, as a man, you work with, (or in my case, use to work with) children in care. They either think your a bit effeminate, or that you are an angel, imbibed with the Patience of Job, or your some kind of deviant.
If you think you have what it takes, and are considering a career in the field, I suggest you have a read of this article linked to the Triond site.
