--- Quote from: ""Che Gookin"" ---No clue what to tell you about that, but I'd wager to say that deep inside you've a few hesitations about the whole process of watching the staff being frog marched off in hand cuffs. Maybe you feel some anxiety regarding the staff that didn't comport themselves like nazi storm troopers?

Don't stress it.. in the end it will be the best thing to do. Those who are good people have had plenty of chances to leave the place. They know what is going on inside of the ED center. They know about the damn holes in the "volley ball" court.

From the top to the bottom that place is a damn disease. The flesh of society is tainted by the cancer called benchmark and my friend you are going to be part of the radical surgery that will cut the cancer right out of the flesh.

So relax dude.. no one in that damn place is innocent no matter how well they treated you..

Because they all know exactly what is going on and each and every one of us is in possession of enough common sense to know right from wrong. Might take some of us longer to figure it out than others, but eventually we all have to be able to sort it out for ourselves and be strong enough to say no more.

Those that have stayed at benchmark for years on end and continue to perpetuate the "raps" and the "revelations" regarding masterabation while driving need to go down no matter how well intentioned they are or how nicely they treated you.

ramble fest over as this is sort of ackward coming from me knowing I've a few sins of my own that I'll never be able to pay off fully.

Well I wouldn't say I feel bad. I've moved beyond doing this out of guilt and into the realm of doing this out of sheer moral outrage. I don't think I could keep at this if it was out of guilt. The emotion of guilt isn't a sufficient fuel to drive me in attaining my objectives.

I do have things I feel guilty about from working at Three Springs and Eckerds, but those feeling tend to manifest themselves in others ways in my life. Rarely ever does the guilt rear its ugly little head here on fornits or anywhere else.

One example, in class today I had a kid who kept speaking Korean. My compulsive anal side told me, "DAMN it.. drop the hammer on him.. He is supposed to be speaking English.. NOT korean! It is english class..!!"

My common sense side told me, "give him a few chances as his first language is Korean and all... sheesh man..."

I choose option number one and busted him...

Well it didn't take to long for me to notice his downcast demeanor and lack of participation in class. I realized that there is clearly more than one way to skin a cat and if I wanted to do my job properly I had better refrain from my 3 springs style of rule enforcement. I was immediately stricken with a nearly numbing sense of guilt for falling back into my asshole counselor routine.

So.. I asked I began complimenting the kid everytime he spoke English and stared at him silently, until he noticed me, when he spoke Korean. After awhile he was speaking more English than Korean and by the end of class nothing but English with a few gentle reminders to do so by myself.

I then went into my grade book and showed the kid where I crossed out the point deduction for his earlier transgression and sent him on his way in happier form than before.
