Abortion clinic worker: "Work is slowly eating my soul"

In November, a Live Journal blogger named Burnout_Ohio was looking for a forum for abortion clinic workers at the LiveJournal Abortion Info blog.

She wrote,
"i'm just the run of the mill educator slash support person in the room at a clinic. are there any internet groups or sites for clinic employees to discuss working in a clinic? it's a uniquely demanding job and i'm rather emotionally exhausted sometimes.

i'd like to talk to people who understand."


Two weeks later, on her own blog (warning: language) she writes,
"work is slowly eating my soul.

i was doing math in my head driving home as usual. god, i make awful money for a job that actually sucks once you strip away all the pretentious "oh i HELP people" bullshit.

well, actually, being the stranger that says the right thing during an awful tearful confession in a strange office does have a value beyond money."
