i was prepared to lose my job

[One Finger]

As part of my job I have been hit, kicked, bitten, and cursed out. I have gone to the hospital twice for myself, urgicare three times due to work-related injuries or else stress-related issues (caused by work no doubt). I have been asked to clean up vomit, feces, and even wipe another person's a**. I have been forced to stand outside in the cold, rain, snow, and sleet on multiple occasions for drills and false alarms.

And so far I've done it all with a smile on my face. No fighting here. Do you remember in high school when you take that aptitude test and give you a book of careers and you get to pick whatever one you want to be? Why would anyone pick special education?!?

(Jokes aside, I love my job even with all the metaphorical and literal crap I have to deal with!)

one nice thing about working for a union, specially mine is that they are constantly telling you, if you feel unsafe, or is go against any safety standards you can say no and not be punished and we will back you up.

SO TRUE.
