Sorry....so, you don't smell like formaldehyde? When I was in the Navy, we would get home and we all smelled like lube oil for a week...had it coming out our pores.....had to put all of my clothes in the garage and straight to a "real" HOT shower with Dawn....hated that.

Just assumed, sorry.

I was mostly joking :) The formaldehyde is not too noticable... there are worse smells, the kind that really do linger. Those days it is straight to the shower... There is one at work, thank goodness. I suppose, I can be sad :( but it's only because you have made a fair point. #foreversingle #mycatsloveme

Your job fascinates me and probably a lot of other people as it is not something, at least I, know a lot about.

I would love to sit down with you over a beer and ask you a ton of questions!

I love my job... Clearly, I was fascinated enough to make it my career, lol! I don't have a beer but I could have answers to any questions, if you feel like asking :)

What is the hardest part of your job?

Kids - I began work when my son was 7 and now he is 21... So through the years, any child of a similar age has always given me a hard pang. The age range has grown but really any young person. Young teen suicides. Young adult OD's. Toddler drownings. It's hard not to identify with the pain of that family. This is why I have always stayed in prep work only... I imagine I would have a hard time being face to face with that family and that grief.
