A RANT: The world does not owe you anything!!
Advertisements [?]
I could get flamed over this-but thats ok

I have spent my career working with the disabled. Physical, Mental Health, Mental Retardation.

Currently I am in the Mental Health Field as a social worker and I have a few clients who are extremely entitled. Just give me my check, I dont want to work-I am crazy so who cares, I cant do anything.. Wrong O, people can function with a Mental Illness but they dont want to hear that.

Well on NPR this morning, they interviewed the Spanish Baseball announcer for The Tampa Bay Devil Rays. He is fucking Blind but is a baseball announcer. A few weeks ago driving home. I see a guy in a wheel chair cutting his grass. He would push the mower a foot, roll his chair up and push it another foot and on and on and on.

That is what keeps me going in this field- little glimmers of self-fullfillment.
