Thirteen Reasons Why I Love My Job1…. I have direct contact with the people I work with. 2.... My job is to help an individual, not a company, organization, or bottom line. 3.... I work with people who are just as vested as I am. 4.... Every day is different. 5.... I get to go into different homes, and have a window in to all sorts of different lives. 6.... I hear stories of great strength and fortitude from people who have lived long, long lives. 7.... I hear stories of incredible sadness, and know that if there is any way possible, and if they will let me, I can (try to) help. 8.... That when I can't help I have a group of supportive peers who help me understand that I've done all I can. 9.... I hear stories about New York City, and how it was fifty, sixty, seventy years ago. 10.... I feel really young. :) 11.... It's a chance not to think about myself, my issues, and my problems and worry about others. 12.... I don't get paid well. (Just checking to see if you're paying attention!) 13.... I put so much time and effort into graduate school... and went through so many crappy and inappropriate jobs... that it's just so great to find where I fit. Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1.
