Who needs a bigger pat on the back?

Updated:   Published

Really who needs a bigger pat on the back for doing their job? Who posts more about how much they matter and makes a bigger difference? Nurses or teachers?

Wish we would stop feeding the troll/trawler/whatever.

Not an "either or" question for me. I have always felt that Nurses, Teachers and Social Workers work harder than most and relatively speaking, make the least amount of money in compensation for all they go through and all they are responsible to do.

An interesting sidenote: The term trolling comes from fishing, where you drag bait around in the water and wait to see what bites.

this...little known fact.

In my day a troll was an unctuous character one would usually find cowering under a rock. He/She would by nature be badgering and disagreeable and sometimes too often found in a hospital setting. The modern day characterization of said character leaves a lot to be desired despite their similitude of obnoxious traits.

every time I read the word Troll I think of the Three Billy Goats Gruff story I heard as a kid.

Everyone knows Trolls really live under bridges!

I think of Dora, for my own kids growing up.
