I work 911 Dispatch 2nd shift so i’ll Be leaving soon after everyone arrives. My job prevents me from participating in many family functions, and has so for years. I often wonder if a paycheck is worth giving up so much life experience. At this point I’ve got more time behind me than ahead.
But it helps to remind myself how truly lucky I am. I don’t have to worry about a foreign invasion or being the victim of genocide. I don’t have to be thankful that I haven’t been kidnapped or forcibly separated from my children. My problems are first world problems.
I wanted to let you know that you are not alone and hoping a strangers comment helps. I try and remember tomorrow is a new day.
On a lighter note I answered a call from a woman the other day wanting the police to remove a pigeon from her garage that wouldn’t leave. Her request left more questions than answers.
Onward we go.....
