Doing the happy dance

let me start out by stating that I am a mental health professional. I work with the people that no one else wants anything to do with.if you saw the movie the soloist then you have a little idea of of what my job entails. I consider that I have the best job in the world. I get to have relationships with people that don't trust anyone and especially have been burned by the system. These are my people and often they smelled really bad because they have nowhere to shower. Does this sound like someone you would invite into your home? Does this out like someone that you would like to hang out with? Do you have the compassion or the wherewithal to be able to deal with these folks day after day, week after week, mointh after month and year after year. my people in the homeless and I am the guy on the street. Don't get me wrong, I do have a home to go to every night but during the day and sometimes into the night I hang out with the street people. They tell me any respect me because they know what I'm about I'm all about helping in any way that I possibly can. this is why when I come to work I can do"The happy dance" I work for one of those government agencies that are struggling right now to provide services for people who cannot afford to pay for services. Unfortunately, there are a lot of my co-workers that are going to be out of a job. I believe, that I am very fortunate to not only have a job but one that I love doing.
since I do work for a government agency needed supplemental income. You see, a while back there were too many bills at the end of my paycheck so I have needed to supplement that shrinking paycheck. I plan to continue doing what I do for a long time to come but I think I need to invite to to join me in one of my favorite activities. Like most Americans I love to shop Then I love to get a good deal. I have discovered a web site where I can do both. Follow me there if you choose. I would love to see there and support you in any way that I can
