I applied for a specific shift for the house I am working at right now. I don't know who else has applied for it so I don't have any idea of whether I'll get it or not. It's just a temporary shift because the staff member who holds it is on an "indefinite" leave of absence. I'm not sure what that means. I guess that makes this schedule "indefinitely temporary."

My criminal background check hasn't been cleared yet, so I'm not allowed to be alone with the residents, but I am cleared to drive. Yesterday I drove for transport with another staff member riding in the van (transport is when we pick up/drop off the residents at their work). Both workplaces we picked residents up were in the far corners of Eugene, so the whole trip took over two hours. Kind of fun to get paid for driving.

I decided that it is interesting to drive a 12-passenger van with several developmentally disabled people in it, but not quite as exciting as driving a 15-passenger van with 12 rowdy teenagers in it. And now I've done both.
