Thank you for being so vulnerable! It is inspiring. I cannot imagine the kind of situations (and characters!) that these nights on call offer. It can be hard to be grateful in the face of life and its hardships, but being alive and connecting with others - whether it be Eddie or those two annoying 20 y olds (I have personally faced this as a RA in college...boy do I have stories to tell) - makes it all worth it, despite the oddities and absurdities in between.
(I also laughed so hard at the "She cray cray!" part)
Totally! Life is so absurd sometimes that I think all we can do is laugh. Or else fall into bitterness, which I think was what I was doing. Now I try to just laugh about it and try not to take things too seriously.
I’d love to read some short stories about people you met in the dorms!
These work-life stories are always so great man, no idea how many you've written so far, maybe they could become a collection some day
You made me love this Eddie too
Thank you! They could definitely fill a book haha. There are so many that they blend together. But some stand out in my mind, like this one

…really awesome story…thanks for sharing the bts of all you do!!…
Thanks man! I feel like you also channel “Eddie’s” blissed out attitude
…i’m not that drunk…
Great job in showing us we have the power to choose our perspectives on life, emotionally and cognitively, and then act accordingly. Thank you!
I keep having to remind myself of this!
Once again you made the characters in your story come alive.
Happy Thanksgiving Grant—this article was a good reminder to be grateful for all we have and are!
