      The last time I worked full-time with ppl was 20 years ago & then I always needed my evenings to myself & short visits at weekends.

      I can't do that now a husband & child exist so I will need a job which entails being left alone to work a lot. Writing & editing are good.

      I used to care for elderly ppl in nursing homes & it was never them I found draining but coworkers. So domiciliary care was much better

      Coworkers stressful coz internal politics going on & sociability required. Elderly ppl mostly wanted to tell me stories - much better.

      I used to take my breaks with a lady named Nell who liked to tell me stories of her youth. More interesting than staff-room chatter.

      Manager wld say I wasn't taking breaks & it was important for health & safety to take a break from stresses of work.

      Tried to say: Well-told stories of wartime farm-work = not stressful. General chatter abt life now & moaning abt other staff = stressful

          Now I know how to appear to be wearing stockings using tea-leaves & an eye-brow pencil. This could be important one day!

          The two oldest ladies I worked with were born in the 1880s. Both the oldest ppl in UK for a while at 113. Clear-minded.

          One of my ladies, Sarah, lost her 3 brothers & fiance at the start of the first world war. She said they were sent in without guns.

          She said working class boys from East End given sticks & told to hit Germans with them & take their guns. I have never verified this.

          My 20th century history is terrible but I tend to know a lot abt women's experiences of wartime. Men talked about it far less. To me, anyway

          No idea why I'm talking about this right now. Thinking of working full-time again now but not in care work.

          I wldnt want to do care work now. The Emmas, Claires & Lucies are long gone, the Gladyses, Lilies & Muriels are nearly all gone.
