Measure of your worth

I know my worth and everyday it is validated. Procedures and fairness say that we should share the burdens and lend a helping hand whenever possible. The burden always seems to fall squarely in my lap.

I write this entry setting in the pediatric ER for the 3rd time in almost as many months. When parents are not available to travel with students who need medical attention, a school official must accompany the student. Their was once a policy that female staff would travel with female students and male staff with male students. Well, needless to say, those rules have gone by the wayside. New rules, Mr. Thompson goes with everyone.

Can't say that I resent that decision anymore. My belief is simple, when you're given lemons, suck hard and enjoy that sweet taste. Only kidding...you really have the choice to make the best of every situation or complain to deaf ears and to no avail. My choice...enjoy the moment. The ER has wireless connection and getting away for a moment "ain't too bad."

Back to measure my worth....it is obvious that my absence from school really makes no difference to the function of the school. Everyone else must have such important functions and tasks that they couldn't possibly be pulled away. But Allan, hey, he can jump up and be whisked away in the drop of a dime and all will be well.

Just for some clarification...this is simply venting and addressing the situation as it presents itself. Through very careful analysis and diagnosis, this is the measure of my worth.

To further clarify...the measure of my worth changes as you speak to different people and look at the situation. I know my real worth and those who know me and my talents, do as well.
