I haven’t for a hot minute (10 years or so) so not up on the latest.

See. You get enough of that at work.

I hear ya. Last thing I feel like doing after dealing with morons at work is watching people deal with morons at work on TV lol

Special doesn't even begin to be measured in career terms. I’m special because I’m an awesome dad and husband and friend, not because I’m anything else.
That always comes first.
And yes, people who have spent as much time as @That Beast Mode and I working for someone else for free and being paid in “experience” no doubt have special needs. Just ask our spouses.

Truer words have never been said. Your career is not what defines you, it's a means for you to define yourself. My wife tells me I'm special all the time - although I detect some undertone of sarcasm in there.

You’re most likely right, I know that. I might wake up one day wondering why I left a 6-figure police job for a $60K security gig. But I did things right and made smart investments early so it’s not really about money for me. Working for Tesla or SpaceX is actually somewhat meaningful. Policing is largely what you see in the ER. Yet another POS drug dealer that got shot by another drug dealer. Who cares?

I can totally see the mental fatigue aspect of that job, besides being tough you're dealing with other peoples problems all day - people don't call the police to say hi. Yes occasionally you get the "Win" and something awesome happens and those days carry you to the next, but there is no monetary value you can put on your piece of mind. If it's not about the money I'd rather have the 60k security gig with a cushy chair working for Space X over dealing with the scum of society all day.

Absolutely. Nothing but respect @ABILISK

@That Beast Mode also averts true tragedy

I've seen worse than this, but it amazes me that people with this have no pain most of the time.

Nerves are a sensor. If the sensor keeps firing all the time your brain just down-regulates it. Like living by train tracks.

Not comparing here but it’s easier to cuff them than intubate them believe you me.
Half the reason I wear a mask is to hide my disgust.

Put a little listerine on the inside of your mask, a dab will do... My favorite was a patient who came to the office and told me "I'm sorry, I just had a tuna and onion sandwich for lunch and didnt have time to brush". I'm like are you really sorry tho?

Haha. That sucks. Never tried listerine. I usually do mastisol which is this strong smelling sticky stuff we use for dressings. I’ll give that a go. Thanks for the pro tip.
When people say they are sorry like that, it’s usually because they really aren’t sorry at all as you point out.
Like when you see someone with a god awful Hawaiian shirt, sometimes the first thing that comes out of your mouth is “nice shirt”, almost like you’re uncomfortable with them possibly finding out how awful you think that shirt is.

That’s a special one there. I feel guilty if I don’t brush or floss after not eating anything for a while before a dentist appointment. Well, a cleaning by a hygienist. That’s all I’ve ever had to have.

Nah, he was 0% sorry. Having tuna and onions right before an appointment is a declaration of war.

You just wait til flight 12. I rock a mean Hawaiian shirt and we’ll be on the beach where it’s totally acceptable

Bio-warfare too. Possible Geneva convention violation.

Good, keep it that way... Prevention is cheap, dentistry is expensive.
