Thanks NooNoo! Best test yet!
I got this out of NooNoo’s diary. (Why did you have to name yourself after a teletubby character, NooNoo? I always feel silly calling you by your username.) What obscure animal are you? Sugar Gliders are nocturnal In the wild they eat mostly fruits As pets they love sugar cubes and other sweets They’re very…
Friendship closes its eyes.
‘Love is blind, but friendship closes its eyes.” -English Proverb- I ran across that quote the other day, while researching something totally irrelevant to it. For some reason, it stuck with me. I’ve had reason to contemplate friendship over the past few days. But I’ll get back to that later. I have learned over the…
Time and Cat Food
OK, I’ve calmed down a bit from last night. Yes, The Professor was talking out of extreme frustration. But he is one of the worst time-management people I have ever met. “Time” for him is a superfluous concept, and clocks exist only to make his life miserable. More often than not he has no concept…
Slow and Steady
I begin to worry about myself when I become overwhelmed with pride because I managed to take a shower without a chair in the stall to sit on. I know I couldn’t have done that a few weeks ago when I first got home from the hospital, so there is some tangible proof that I’m…
Death by Carolling, 2004: Day One
Yes people, it’s started. My insufferable Minion has yet again tuned into the 24/7 Christmas carol station, starting today. I will not be responsible for the outcome. It is on his head if I crack from one too many renditions of “Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer” or “The First Noel”. Especially because he is likely to…

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.
