Please accept my apologies in advance for my warped sense of humor… But since your post included a bit of humor in the same vein, please consider the following:

You might want to make a minor (but critical) edit to further clarify the following…

…as how it read, my first thought was imagining a cheering section for the one enduring such a heinous act.
ā€œWay to take that punch!ā€
ā€œYou didn’t even flinch!! Way to deny letting her know that hurt!ā€ -yes, women can be ā€œbeastsā€ too! =p

Seriously though, what you do is awesome. and more than once I’ve been the one to not stand by and idly watch this kind of shit happen. Makes my blood boil.

PSA: if you see it, HELP STOP IT! In whatever way you can. Someone’s life may depend on it.

Do be careful not to put fuel on the fire. Geez in the US with you guys all carrying 3 pistols each be very careful. Call police as your first action please. Then you can be brave but always be smarter than you are brave.

Wow psych nurse & support workers totally brilliant professions. Thanks.

Credit to you for taking on a tough role there. Autism is hard to work with, even if a child is relatively calm and placid. I can relate to your situation, I have a severely disabled son (cerebral palsy, spastic quadriplegic, tube fed, communicates via ipad and autistic) it’s a draining job as a parent as the 24 hour care based mostly on repetition day in day out really takes it’s toll. My son is coming up for 17 now (I’ve had him for nearly 14 years, biologically from my partners previous relationship) and it’s been a tough ride, so many appointments and a lot of heartbreak. I feel very lucky to still have him with us as we’ve nearly lost him a few times. So work comes second for me. I’ve not really landed into a career due to not being able to work full time but fortunately for me I’m not driven by money (we have enough, even though I’d like more :smile:).

So my job is mostly as a carer and dad but also I work in a gym part time and as nightclub security for that little extra cash in hand :innocent:
Oh, I also sell some of the juice that I mix which has turned out popular enough to make me a little extra here and there. Guess that also makes me a part time juice vendor :slight_smile:

There’s some great jobs of other members on here. Especially the microchip engineer job. Such a variety of people from all walks of life. A very interesting post.

14 years an Executive Recruiter. I’ve worked Accounting, IT and currently engineering for Defense Contractors, Utilities (Nuke guys are insane), Automotive and currently Medical Device. Scary thought, I know enough to intelligently talk the talk but I could NEVER walk the walk (except accounting). I seem to learn something new every day!
