Since the employment form of 'Angel' is a requirement to work for 20 hours in a week, assuming that you work only on weekdays of Monday through Friday as in Japan, you will be waving your hands for about 4 hours a day I guess. Also, "Angels" are arranged to dot in various parts of western Switzerland.
