Envy has nothing to do with it.
You don't know jack 'bout me or the risks I take. My job is listed among the "ten most dangerous occupations".
Truth be known, I suspect you watch much more tube than I. You get over it,,,dudett!
But I am not whining about being made to watch news about climbers. And not whining about my boss not letting me off.
If you are in such a dangerous occupation, I find it odd that you have such disdain for fellow folks in trouble.
You just sound so envious that they got time off, got resources to indulge a hobby and have attention from the press. Really, you sounded that way.
Okay you brought it up.
What is your occupation so we can judge its dangerousness?
You said -- My job is listed among the "ten most dangerous occupations".
Well, my guess is that you're either a tax driver or a garbage collector, then. My other picks are a farmer or fisherman.
Woo-hoo, doesn't that strike fear in your veins... like being a taxi driver?? Better yet, I would be shaking in my boots to be a garbage collector...
That's "right up there" with climbing the north side of Mt. Hood in the winter, for sure.
