Title: My 26 year career is finally worth it.. Post by: Trevor on June 29, 2015, 08:17:10 AM There are some moments at work when you get a big wake-up call and you realize that you made the right choice choosing that career. I got one last week. :teddyr:
I had an email from a lady from the UK whose father is currently very ill: he was featured as an amateur tennis player in a SA newsreel from 1945 and his dying wish - he has cancer - was to see this again. He told his daughter it would be impossible to find and she contacted me. Impossible to find? Challenge accepted. :teddyr: I found the footage inside ten minutes and after breaking all - I mean ALL - the archive rules about having a film cool down after retrieval, etc, I had it at the lab and by midday, colleagues there had uploaded the video to Vimeo and he was able to see it. Wow: my job is finally worth it. :teddyr: Title: Re: My 26 year career is finally worth it.. Post by: zombie no.one on June 29, 2015, 10:28:38 AM well that is pretty awesome. good on yer!

My job is so worth it now; I'm in an area where nobody really bothers me and I can work as fast or slow as I want, as long as I get the job done.. at times I can get away with not working at all. A former shift had me in a different ward where the boss always visited to chat with the nurses, and a crew in the operating rooms were worthless as all get out and ticked me off to no end. Not dealing with any of that nowadays! Title: Re: My 26 year career is finally worth it.. Post by: bob on June 30, 2015, 03:47:58 PM That's pretty cool :thumbup:

It only hit me later that day what I had done: I hope I put a smile on her Dad's face. Title: Re: My 26 year career is finally worth it..

Even if he isn't, I'm sure I eased his way a little. :smile: Title: Re: My 26 year career is finally worth it..
