And I like that. I've been bit, spit on, and cussed at (and that was just at the last OkieQ) but ... well, that comes with the job. And in spite of my feeble attempt at humor, I really do get to help folks who have some -- mental health issues. I'd not trade my occupation for anything else. I like what I do. Most days.
