Which just about sums it up in a nutshell.
SPRING STREET
I’m sorry that I left you With your questions all alone But I was too happy driving And too angry to drive home I was thinking about the easy courage Of my distant friends They said I could let this bridge wash out And never make amends Can I blow this small town Make a…
Sweat Box
I just finished completing a health certificate for some animals we’re shipping off-site. The certs aren’t complicated, but they’re time consuming. Like other government forms I’ve dealt with, they want ten paragraphs of information on three lines or less. I get good practice with microwriting by doing these forms. I then put my head in…
Prick me, do I not bleed?
And then there are the things that nobody but me would understand, or take any delight in. Like the complexities of finger-pricking to get a droplet of blood for glucose testing. Who knew it would be so complex remembering which finger is next in line for exsanguination? At first I thought I could just go…
Sleepless Pill
My first flush of enthusiasm for the new sleeping pills has faded into a dull disappointment. Monday night’s miracle drug turned into Wednesday night’s drug of torture. Following directions, I took the sleeping pill about 9:30 last night. It is supposed to have a short period of onset, and they warn you not to take…

Well, the tour I did yesterday went well. At least, I think it did. Nobody complained, and that’s at least a 90% success rating in my book. One unfortunate problem I ran into had to do with the facemask I now need to wear in many areas of the company I work for. I’m immunosuppressed,…
Sal,
Your entry made me cry. You do work in a Holy Place and yours is a hard job but I’m glad that there’s someone with your heart and compassion to do it.
Hugs
The only reason I didn’t cry, too, was because Tech Man was sitting right next to me, and he already probably thinks I’m a big wuss. ;o) Seriously, though, I feel honored to know someone who cares so deeply about what they do.
I won’t go so far as to label where I work a holy place, but I do feel a great ethical responsibility for my work. When I was in college I had a professor who was so obviously bored with what he did that I hoped I would find something that I could be passionate about so I wouldn’t end up like that. I wish everyone searched for and found the Great Reasons for what they do. Reading your entry made me feel not so alone.
There are a few of us here at DD that have found honor in their work. Welshamethyst and TraumaMama come to mind. I’m glad to have found them, too.
Wow, that is a really great entry. I am really just at a loss for words…
I can relate to having to turn your feelings off. Been there, do that.
