I LOVE Criminal Minds.
You should do this stuff more often Kim. It’s enjoyable for us as much as it was for you.

Ok! Haha… I promise I will give it a shot… all great topics, Bojana. You remind me of my high school English Teacher, she was fun and always believed I could write! We are still friends today! AND, it will be good for me to leave the illness in the shadows once in awhile, a fibro free day! ~Kim

It’s so interesting to read your answers, Kim! From the job roles you’ve had, such as the mental health counsellor and Psychiatric Technician, which would you say you preferred/loved the most? It made me chuckle when you wrote about The Real Housewives – I suspect that TV like that are guilty secret pleasures for a lot of people, not that they’d ever admit it! 🙂

CAZ. Those jobs were so rewarding. I must sat I enjoyed the Crisis Unit the most. Being a psych tech was EVERYTHING to me but it took everything from me as well. I was only 19 when I got that job and although trained, it was heartbreaking at times, dangerous at times, and so worth it most off the time! But I have scars, working with adolescents in crisis… bound to happen. I really enjoyed all my jobs I had at different times of my life. Just like I enjoy a good cat fight on the housewives!
