I love my job. Not like I love my family but you understand. I am VERY fortunate to have a career with job security, fair pay, and I can actually contribute to my community EVERY DAY. My kids are proud of what their dad is/does (more than what I could say at their age). I don't have to work in an office (that would kill me inside). I like "getting my hands dirty". I meet really neat people (really, I am being serious) that I would have never otherwise have met. A police uniform is a magnet for casual conversation and I rather enjoy that aspect. Kinda counter balances all the detritus that I am surrounded with on a daily basis.
