I took a leave of absence from my Dept Head/English teaching job back in Canada until January. I am spending four weeks travelling in Europe (Netherlands, London, Portugal) and then have a two month contract teaching in Germany beginning in mid October.

It seems like every ten years, I force myself to get out of my 'comfort zone'. I hope I learn a lot from my experiences and grow as an educator and person.

I'm just curious if anyone on here has their own or knows someone who has their own cleaning business? I have been talking to a family friend who used to clean both for a company and privately before retiring due to illness. I want to get different ideas/opinions about it.

I've held several roles on the campus where I work.... the latest role I've only been in for about 2 and a half months. But I've had my eye on another position, with better pay and benefits, so I applied for it today. If I'm recruited into this new role, I'll start my new job, sometime after the first of December. I'm filled with excitement and a bit anxious, but I'll know soon if I go on board in my new role.

Yup! I'm ve been working since May. I was asked if I wanted to join a very well established clinic that is run by one of my outreach instructors: my outreach at the HIV support clinic. He runs the highest rated clinic in my city, and also teaches students at the HIV clinic to give back to the community.

So, I have an incredible start. All that bone crushing hard work has paid off with an incredible placement offer. I'm doing well. I love my patients. It took 6 weeks to stop being really fucking sore and exhausted after I started, as I can burn up to 3,500 calories in a day at work. So I have to take very good care of myself. I got myself a cleaner so I'm not bogged down at home with extra work, kicked out my flatmates so I have a place on my own finally, and I just adopted a very lovely cat.

I need rest and low stress on my days off. So I'm not going to be busting my tits looking after someone. So, either it's someone fun and easy going with no drug and alcohol problems, or I stay single till I'm in my grave lol

Also, I get what you are saying about being drained. I started doing some private practice work in the evenings for extra cash (well mainly due to overflow...I don't want to say no to any trans client who calls me and I can't fit them in at my regular job), and I fear I am really going to feel it. Already I am behind on documentation.
At my regular job I have two radically different jobs, one a behavioral health consultant in a primary care office, and one a regular therapist. 3 days in one place, 2 days the other. That already makes my head spin. Now I am adding something else. I know when the cash starts flowing in I will be happy (and I need more money because I need a new car), but I am worried about how it will be long term.

I can't give a lot of personal details about my latest work placement, but I can say my former company hired me back, I work in an office that serves an international company of engineers and while I'm not salaried, I will be earning a decent living and I'm grateful to be back on board with the company I was last working for. I work a Monday through Friday schedule, get all holidays off, and I also have the opportunity to advance in placement. Just today, in front of my small office crew, I got another compliment by an vendor who frequents our office, daily. So I'm thrilled to be back at work.

I did housekeeping when I was younger first through agencies and later for myself. When I began I kept the full time job I had and only worked as a housekeeper on my days off to see if I would like it well enough, and they could keep me busy enough, for me to quit my full time job. With work I always like to test the waters, try something out first before quitting my steady job and on a wing and a prayer immediately full force flinging myself into something new. If you want to know anything more about my experience with it, have any questions or anything you can PM me any time. Good luck with whatever you decide.
