My husband has a full plate right now–overflowing, in fact. I wish I could do more for him, to alleviate some of his load.
He is going to community college because he gets free college through the Future for Front Liners Grant (or Heroes, IDK). He is also working full time, doing more in the office at work because they are short staffed everywhere and need help. He helps out with new hire orientation but still works the road at least 32 hours a week (two 16 hour days). He is helping to teach an EMT class. He is also taking a community paramedic class, which will include clinical time and ride-alongs. Yikes!! He might get one full day off a week but I don’t know, he is always doing something for work or class. And there is stuff I want him to do around the house to help me get my stuff together. Poor guy!! I am so proud of him though. I feel so lucky that I found such a good guy and hard worker.
I am so stoked that his work allowed him to take the community paramedic class (they are paying for him to take the class). He would do excellent work there but he wasn’t able to take the class in the past because he doesn’t drive and you have to be able to drive in order to do the job. They are having him take it so he can help teach the class in the future. It is really a great opportunity and I hope he will be able to do more with that in the future. He is already a critical care paramedic, which they need more of where he works but they tend to misuse them on basic (simpler) transfers. Eventually, I would like to see him come off the road more and more, and do more work in the office, or in another environment outside of EMS…he is getting to old to be lifting patients. He loves EMS though.
