what about yourself don't you like?

My Job. My Life.
I sit with people for around 50 minutes and talk to them. All day long, every day. We talk about sad things, we talk about new and happy developments and we talk about very very personal things. It's pretty damn cool. And it's pretty taxing. It gets to be heavy much of the time. Around 90% of the time it's hard conversations about sad things, or difficult things. This time of the year is slow in the counseling business, not all the time....some weeks are more busy than others, but sunshine and sand seem to keep people's minds at bay at least until September. Then it hits, it's like once school begins people decide to chip away at their problems and try to actualize to be better. I mean it's not totally dead in the summer, problems pop up - people break up - drug addiction takes a drastic turn and people die, but in an unspecified general manner, summer is slower. Which is making it much much harder to wait for next week to come, when we'll be on vacation - in the Pines. Please, someone send me a time warp machine.
Thanks.
