I'm not sure if I've ever stopped anyone, but I've definitely stalled a few.<br /><br />One of the weirdest things about this job is talking matter-of-factly to people who want to commit suicide, "So you want to throw yourself in front of a train? That's different. Tell me more." It's just weird.<br /><br />People don't realize how often we go home from work feeling like we didn't make a difference. Dealing with the frequent fliers, the calls for domestic violence and runaways, and dealing with all the petty people, it's not as easy as we make it look.<br /><br />Congrats on making a difference!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745971053878271019noreply@blogger.com
