thanks for everyone being so helpful and nice..i really feel welcomed
here..i guess venting and having a bad day is not ok because too many
people take things personally..life is really too short..i see dying
people everytime i step into work...none of you know me at all..if you
did.you'd know that my kids are my life.i live,breath and die for
them..you'd also know that what i do for work is give people the
decency of dying in their own home..i hold theyre hand,read them
storys..give them the peace they need and deserve before they leave
this world.. every person has the right not to be judged on account of
their momentary feelings...because at the moment..thats how you feel...
this place is really unbelievable...

I for one have to wonder what makes you think you have the right to waltz in
and vent on folks you don't even know, and then expect them to not express
themselves in return in a calm and rational manner, which is what you got.
Believe me, the reaction you got was far kinder than I expected to see after
I read your initial post!

If your job is to help people die, you should well know that a day spent
with your family, even if you came up 0-10 boxwise (instead of the
reasonably successful 6-10 you got), is NOT a day where your family's
valuable time has been wasted - instead, it was a wonderful investment of
time together as every day with family is precious.

I'm sorry you had a bad day, but do you really want your first impression
anywhere in life to be that of someone who storms in ranting?
