Dare To Ask Talk And News About Our Differences

In my line of work I’ve seen it all. Yet I know there is still more to see. The site of burned flesh does not bother me. It looks waxy, like a candle. The smell, however, stays in your sinuses for weeks. I have worked in EMS and the Fire Service for more than 10 years, and the one thing that keeps you from being ‘grossed out’ is your professionalism. Would you return to a doctor who told you the infection you had was repulsive looking and smelling? I think not. I would not refer to it as being an actor. Most in this type of work have true compassion for their patients. If you don’t, you will burn out. Trauma (accidents, stabbings, gunshots, etc.) tends to shake up most people. This is where I do my best work. I and most of my coworkers thrive under pressure. What greater pressure could there be than working in the worst conditions to save a life? You have to enjoy it because it sure doesn’t pay in the bank account. The worst things I? Abused and neglected elderly and children. That makes me sick.

I don’t actually live on the coast. I have been to several midwest cities, including Chicago, South Bend,IN., Toledo, Ohio, as well as many of the small towns along the highways I have driven. My personal feeling towards Midwestern people as compared to Californians is simple; just like us. The folks I met were wonderful. I saw some ‘not so savory types’ but we’ve got those here too. Central California is just as rural as some midwest towns and has some very large cities too. I tend to like California for its diversity. A 45 minute drive east puts me at the foot of the nations largest trees, the Giant Sequoias. Drive 2 hours west and my feet are in the Pacific Ocean. Big cities, rural farm towns, lakes, National parks, rivers, recreation of all type abound here. For clarification, I come from a farming family. Sure we can be easy going but we’re some of the hardest working people in the world. Not to mention there is nothing ‘unsophisticated’ about farming these days.

Most are students during the day and tend at night. A few work other jobs but take shifts behind the bar to supplement income. I would surmise from this that the bartenders are probably working more.
