[QUOTE="copepod, post: 1106341, member: 21372"] Many of us have to cope with lots of different types of days. In my case, currently, I juggle 5 different jobs: office based on 1 to 3 days per week, usually about 6 days per month throughout the year; events & education activities at various council parks, farm & bird garden, irregular days, approx 20 per year; invigilating exams for 3 or 4 days for up to 3 periods of 2 or 3 weeks per year, which involves lots of walking and carrying heavy boxes of papers; physical care work for periods of 2 days to 2 weeks, usually total 3 weeks per year; marshalling on various mountain running and cycling races and triathlons, approx 8 weekends per year. I haven't had a holiday in nearly 3 years, but hoping to be able to afford on this year. I have to make sure I do enough days work and training to maintain my professional qualification, which takes some doing, but I would not want to put my registration in doubt. So, I think that it's essential that you fulfill the requirements of your professional association. If that means taking 2 weeks off, then that's what it has to be. [/QUOTE]
