Yeah, and then there's the follow-up thought that goes, oh yeah, I guess I'm actually privileged to be in this group of people.

    Yeah the stark reminder that at any point you could choose not to live like this, it's just your quality of life would suffer.

    I want to tie a cinder block to my foot and jump off a bridge. I'll bet some asshole made an acronym for that too.

    First job I've ever had that didn't involve being at heights in winter, or dealing with poo (animal,human) or both.

    I'm not a fan of the slide shows, but I also didn't like hustling homeless people smoking crack in the toilet stalls or dragging wire through crusty old crawl spaces filled with dead animals. "Okay lady, your oven should work now without blowing a breaker, also, you had a whole family of raccoons, now you have what I guess they'd call a crypt.".
