@taemins lover: It's rare that I find someone else who works in the same field.
I commend you, I worked holidays with some of my clients last year and it was a humbling experience.
I learned that I take a lot for granted.

@taemins lover: That's a sticky situation, it's nice to be able to go home and spend some time with friends and family, but money is also essential.
Our facility residentially doesn't close, a lot of our clients family has/have either passed, gave up rights or straight up don't show.

@taemins lover: That's never fun especially if you had plans or were more comfortable not going home.

@taemins lover: You'd have no place to go to or retreat if you needed.
I agree it's hard when you have an animal too, it stresses you out, your animal out.
Traveling this time of year can also be a nightmare.

@taemins lover: Hopefully you're able to find the balance you need with no stress ^_^

@milo: I have done that before, it is not a good feeling.
