the past five days have been a whirlwind of stuff happening....i don't think it clicked with me until thurseday exactly how many hours i had signed up for at work.....then it hit and i was there, somehow i found my way through all the hours and days....i came out with only a bruise on my elbow, a really sore elbow and wrist, and achy arms..you try keeping someone from beating the crap out of everyone and everything in sight....not easy....i then spent from nine last night to two in the morning at the emergency room...suburban to be exact......the person we were trying to keep from beating the crap out of everyone and everything needed medical attention in the form of an ambulance and other stuff....not from us...but from the damage this person did to themselves....sometimes this job really gets to me....not doing it, but the people....you can't help but care.....but sometimes you have to ask yourself what exactly the point is.....somedays the point is easier to see.....somedays....it isn't.....the other observation i made at two in the morning is how funny feelings are.....at one point you can be so scared,worried, and upset at one person or the situation and in the next moment you can be just worried, and happy, and grateful for the numerous things surrounding the situation including the person.........
