An even worse job
Salamander Jeopardy time. Answer: An even nastier job that needs doing. Question: What’s the best way to get inspired to take on a nasty job? Yup, it finally (temporarily) stopped raining this afternoon. This morning I had picked up two month’s supply of Flagyl for two cats at my vet, and was sitting at the…
I forgot to add …
… it’s for the 3D showing.
Candle Lighting in US tonight?

The problem with a tarp ….
The way I see it, I’ve got a choice. 1) I can let the cherries hit pavement, and then let the birds and squirrels deal with the fruit and then let the rain deal with the bird and squirrel droppings. -OR- 2) I can put a canopy up. They tend to have sloped tops that…
I got the Call.

I recall vividly what I was doing two years ago today, right now. I imagine most everyone in the US remembers what they were doing too. In fact, I’m willing to bet they were doing the exact same thing I was. They were glued to the television, or the radio. They were witnessing the aftermath…
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

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.
