Everyday heros
What comes to your mind? All those regualar folk working everday jobs, and rarely get the appreciation, respect and thanks they deserve.
I think of waitresses....so often they catch all the flack for bad food they DIDN'T cook, hear all the remarks and complaints about things they have no control over, and still bite thier tongue, smile, and continue on to do their best to serve the customers.

Mr. Kim who froze to death in a valiant effort to save his family.
SOME teachers who have the heart to truly care about the children they teach and make a difference in their lives.

Re: Everyday heros
Definitly Mr. Kim CKTC! Gawd, what a devoted man!
I have to mention the people that keep the heating fuel tanks filled....they constantly try to remind everyone with ads, newsletters, special rates, to get your tanks filled early...but everyone waits till the first cold snap, they get overwhelmed with calls for fuel, and get irate repeat calls from people bitching about it taking them so long to get to them.

Re: Everyday heros
It definitly takes some special people to deal with "us" (us, the general public)
I amazed at the patience and temperment of people that take "customer service" calls, always staying calm while spending 8 hours a day on the phone with pissed off people!

I work in a place that handles their payments, so I know what the buggers are getting off the taxpayer for doing incredibly little work... lets just say that they are well compensated for looking at your mouth.
And I think I deserve a medal for the amount of times I've walked past screaming children and not murdered them

Re: Everyday heros
hospital & hospice nurses -these places have thinned them down everywhere so the administrative people can cut costs and to where they are being run ragged. Most are very dedicated and all make a very small fraction of what the doctors rake in, who (if you're lucky) come in for a minute or two while arrogantly ignoring your questions or concerns. Please don't tell me how much longer the doctors had to go to school to "get where they are". That doesn't excuse them from being caring, compassionate human beings or from honoring their oath.

Any teacher, in any school, in any grade. Trying to teach the new leaders while dealing with budgets, unruly kids, violence. They all deserve medals, better yet a raise.
