dropdeded 0 #21 February 26, 2004 Never seen someone "jazzed" to start a job where he knows he will see people severely injured and possibly dead... but... I guess the theory is,"They're going to get that way anyway, I'm jazzed about the potential to save their lives." ----------------------------------------------------------- Im pretty jazzed about the fact that Im going to be involved in a very respectable field. To me, this is one of those jobs where a huge percentage of the population is not capable of dealing with the stuff that goes on daily. Somebody has GOT to do these things and I am excited to be afforded the opportunity to use my mental capabilities and personality for something like this. Im not taking offense to your reply as I dont think you meant it that way (?) I sure would prefer medical help for myself and my family from someone who is "jazzed" about their work than someone that really didnt like what they were doing. Never know, I may hate it, but I have worked, and will continue to work hard for this. And for now, Im freekin jazzed about the whole freekin thing------------------------------------------ The Dude Abides. - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
