Things that make me appreciate my job

So, gotta say that there are definitely some professions that make me glad I have the job I do. I've been watching a couple of shows as of late, since I have no internal motivation to do anything on days off, and have honestly enjoyed just being a TV bum. Anyhow, they are at least a tad educational, being on the History Channel and all. Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers. I've found myself gasping and shaking my head at the crazy, dangerous, white-knuckle moments these brave and somewhat-lunatic men endure. Makes the menial, pseudo-adrenaline filled moments at the ER seem pretty darn tame. You should check these out. Next time I think that I've had an overload of adrenaline-rush activity, I'll just pretend that I'm dodging logs on the side of some Oregon mountain, or trying to escape after my semi just fell into the frozen lake (which is, BTW, one of my terror-filled nightmares--falling into a body of water in a vehicle). I'll take the safety, however minimal, of the ER any day. Thanks, History Channel.
