How many years do you work on this job?
Can a person ever get used to seeing illnesses and traumas without affecting them?

5 years now.
I'm pretty apethetic.
We take a lot of kids too.

Good morning, folks!

I sat down last night to watch TV and read my book; didn't even make it through a chapter, I don't think. Woke up at 5:20 a.m.; at least that's what I THOUGHT. Got up, made my coffee, sat down at the computer...and that's when I realized it was only FOUR thirty. But by that time, I'd had my morning coffee...

I just don't know how you do it, really I don't. Working those long, long hours and dealing with events that change whole families' lives every day, I just wouldn't have the emotional stamina to keep doing that. But I have great respect and appreciation for those who do. To me, you are doing as great a service as the police and military do. Thank you!

 

[Warhorse]

Indeed!

Good morning to all, just had two cups of black, and two "Everything" bagels w/margarine and preserves.

 

[Warhorse]

Forgot to add my thanks to all who've served.

Veteran's Day Parade today. The parade "stages" (meaning, all the vehicles, groups, etc. meet and line up) right at the intersection where my work building is and then the parade starts from there and goes past our building, up to the "main" street through downtown (which is NOT, oddly enough, Main Street...).
I guess I'll at least take my camera--there's one picture in particular I want to try to get better than I have before. There's this one guy, older gentleman, who is out there every year, with his grandkids. He's in full uniform, and last year one of his grandkids was dressed in some kind of old colonial style costume. His grandkids wave their flags as he stands at attention and salutes every single group of veterans who goes by during the course of the parade. It brings tears to my eyes.

This is one shot I've gotten, but the shot I see in my head, I haven't gotten yet:
