0_o I don't drink coffee, but even if I did, I somehow doubt that there would be enough coffee in the world to make me feel perky by the end of my shift...I think I feel a bit more tired than I would ordinarily because my balance has been kind of wrecked with working the morning, evening, and now midnight in just three days. That balance is a must to keep those spells at bay, the same spells that led to my death. This is part of my training (I have to shadow all shifts), and while the bosses seemed pretty fired up at the present staff for not wanting to work midnights, I honestly can't, at least not on a regular basis.I really enjoy working with these kids, and since I started on the 21st, we've already lost two to new placement =[ That's part of the cycle, but a bit sad at the same time. My hope is that they both go on to live better lives than the lives they have left behind.

Kai, I understand how it would be a bittersweet experience to see the kids you work with move on.
I'm sure though that it will be very rewarding for you to know you've played a part, however significant, in shaping their lives. Those you get to know will look back in time and smile when they think of you.
Those are memories that people hold close, which geography and time can't erase.
