Echoing the sentiments of others. I couldn't do your job. Not due to the emotional issues, but anger management. I'm sure Cat may feel the same way as I do, having to witness your tears and be there for you as you tell her the whys. I have this near overwhelming desire to strangle any of TC's coworkers or clients for her whenever she runs into an asshole.
This, where a life hangs in the balance, is worse than a shitty computer with shittier Outlook.
I freely admit that I value animal life over the lives of people. I wouldn't have your tolerance and patience. There's the kicker, I think. You value the lives of these animals over your own emotional duress. You stick through with the worst humanity has to offer for a greater good. Even if you can't save a life one day, you'll go back again and again. You'll deal with the financial bullshit, the half-baked excuses, the sociopathy of clientele, and all the other small-fry pittances of your job just to keep making a difference.
And I'm sure that there are times when that difference can't be seen. That maybe you feel you didn't do enough one day, or that you utterly failed another day.
But every damn day that you do your bloody job and put up with all the hell that goes with it, you're a fucking hero.
I can only guess how you do it. You're a stronger person than I am as I'd only succumb to the endless amounts of rage. You're a brave soul, Estel.
Fuck those clients. Fuck 'em hard. Fuck 'em with a axepick. May they die a thousand times over mentally and emotionally for what they put you and their 'pets' through.
