Thank you.

And searched her heart and figured out she didn't have what it took to make the split-second decisions a cop has to make, and live with them. <<
Well done.
I don't do jobs that require a lot of math, because I'm not good at it. I do basic math, and if it's important, I get someone competent. Which is exactly what I said I'd do through all the abusive math classes I sat through. I mean, seriously, it is not responsible to do something yourself if it is important and you know you are bad at it. That causes predictable problems for which you will be blamed. But nobody would ever admit that. They just kept bitching about me not being good at math.
They never did spot the disability. I should probably be grateful; it may have just made matters worse.
Then I look at the economists and the idiot decisions they make, things even I can tell are bad ideas, and I realize: Ah. This is where went with the 66% of people who are somehow worse at math than I am. But won't admit it. >_<
>> I respect her IMMENSELY for that. <<
Now if only more people would do likewise.
Of course, there are lots of animal-assisted jobs that don't require violence. Entertainment. Therapy. Search-and-rescue. That sort of thing.
