Talking to a one time girlfriend who is an obstetrician while she was at work one day she said "better go, I need to deliver this woman's baby".

"Hope it goes well", I replied.

"It won't" she said, "the baby is already dead".

That put every shitty day I've ever had at work in context.

Not saying we don't have bad days, we do, just there are some things that thankfully we'll never come face to face with.

My girlfriend is a social worker and works at a primary school. These are some responses I have had to "how was your day":

"Today a girl was raped by his grandfather. We suspect he's also his father."

"A 10-year-old boy commited suicide. I went to his family's home and they still had the body lying down on the living room."

"A boy has told us that her mother every night gets money from men to 'spend time' with her sisters. Today I went to court to try to take the girls away from her, but the judge allowed her to keep them."

I don't allow myself to think I have bad days at work.

> "Today a girl was raped by his grandfather."

You either meant s/girl/boy or s/his/her.

s/his/her, and s/her/his in the third story.
