So many blogs ride on the inherent interest value of their content, but I think you could make a haunting post out of drying paint. Consider yourself bookmarked and loudly spruiked to anyone who'll listen. <BR/><BR/>Kudos, <BR/>NicoleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-34765208078830234482008-01-16T23:34:00.000+00:002008-01-16T23:34:00.000+00:00Thank you Spence, I'm blushing now!

It's lovely, warm and funny, so I hope you don't mind if I put a link to it on my site. BTW - about your accident last August: you needn't have worried about calling the ambulance. You definitely qualified that time - what we'd call a 'genuine job'. Hope youre fully recovered now.

One minute you're dealing with a collapse in the boardroom, the next, you're mediating in a domestic dispute in an S&M club. The variety is fantastic. I've worked in lots of different situations, and for a long time I wondered if I'd ever find anything that would last me more than a couple of years. But this is great! (Perhaps it's just a sign that I'm nosier than I realised).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for reading blog. <BR/>Best wishes, S.Spence Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183848895584919812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27691111.post-81890218439410722522008-01-14T18:41:00.000+00:002008-01-14T18:41:00.000+00:00Another one linked from NeeNaw.

I'm looking forward to re-training sometime in the next couple of years (it'll give me time to really settle into the job, plus allow for the management to sort out courses - at the moment all the training seems a bit ad hoc in the south east!)<BR/>Hazel - we've got at least twenty people we see regularly, a combination of drink, drugs, OD attempts, social/psych problems and a combination of the above. Some of them are flagged, and control only allow them one call a day (unless it sounds v out of the ordinary), but lots of them aren't. It's difficult for control to triage/psiam them, so all we can do is go out and see if we can dissuade them from travelling. But it's incredibly frustrating.
