I kind of like to think of myself as the travel agent for Club Head.
It is indeed very different being one of the people who work for a 24 hour a day, 365 day a year business. I'm sure that the folks you take cookies and cheer to very much appreciate it. (I know we do ...)
I used to work a normal job, with normal hours.
One which even closed down the week between Christmas and New Year's (not because the boss was kind or anything like that. Scrooge and his wife liked to spend the week at their house at the shore, and they didn't trust their company full of Bob Cratchett's not to loot the place while they weren't watching our every move. I'm not complaining about the time off, I'm just pointing out it was any kind of altruism on their parts).
Silly me.
I could have continued on with a nice, reliable, normal job ... working with computers, being able to leave early on snow days, and take long lunches and stuff ...
But I actually like what I do. I enjoy the patients. And I consider what I do to be valuable. And it's nice to hear that from folks from time to time.
