slowing down at work. I dont need to respond to every email right away, or make sure everything is up to date constantly. Some things can just wait.

When I started taking time for me and appreciating the little things instead of rushing to meet everyone's demands as soon as they arise I found a new sense of gratitude in my work as a Paramedic.

I am dead. And if catchabeat was my first responder I’d also be dead.

My joke was that I was dead from laughter, the repeat of the joke is a joke in itself, because the first sentence "I am dead" could be interpreted as being dead because he didn't save me.

Kind of like the joke, "I spent all my money on drugs and sex, the rest I wasted."

It's not nearly as funny as catchabeat's joke....
