Today's Lesson....
Arguments that one is a useless person who has never accomplished much and doesn't contribute much to the world or society are somewhat undermined when the argument in question is interrupted by the arguer having to scamper off and perform CPR on an emergency patient.
Sometimes I forget that things that I take for granted as part of my life and job, and therefore boring and commonplace, are neither. Not everyone, for instance, can contemplate the relative merits of Diet Coke and Campbell's Tomato Soup for removing the taste of cat-nose from your mouth and look at it as a mildly interesting conundrum but not enough to throw off your equilibrium.
I need to remember that just because I do something, that doesn't automatically make it boring, insignificant, or worthless....

I am many things. Silly is often one of them, as is challenged at self-perception.
Which is better, in your opinon, Diet Code or Campbells's Tomatoe Soup? And did the patient make it?
I'd have to say that the soup worked better, if only because it actually tasted better than the patient, which is more than I can honestly say for Diet Coke.
Alas, the patient did not make it, but I at least feel better knowing that we tried, and that we were able to help make things a little smoother for the owners.
