Third shift in a domestic violence shelter. I really thought this is what I wanted to do. I was a victim of dating violence in high school and early college. When I finally got out of the relationship, I decided I wanted to help other people escape. Now that I'm here though, I see that my organization only enables our clients. So many people lie about being in domestic violence situations! They make up stories so that they can stay in our shelter. It's a nice shelter, but if I wanted to work in a homeless shelter, I would have applied at one. The problem is that as soon as they get accepted here, the majority of our clients just sit here and do nothing to better themselves. I can't stand it!
In addition to the actual organization, third shift is grating on me. My schedule is so messed up. I get off work at 8am and go home to sleep. Many businesses are closed by the time I wake up in the afternoon. I hate this schedule.
Therefore, I am looking for something else. Something fun and on a normal schedule.
