| #4 LC FOTSGreg, I haven't yet needed to be saved, but this particular sheep thanks you on behalf of the rest. Keep up the good work -- the people who understand the need appreciate what you do. |

| #3 Outstanding. I also liked the Michael Moore article from (on or about) New Years Day (2005). |

| #1 That is perhaps one of the most profound and meaningful blogs I have ever read. It actually brought a tear to my eye. As a "sheepdog" (read security officer) on one of the nation's most famous national laboratories (LBNL), I am often confronted with sheep, but few wolves. Nevertheless, these are my people and I go all out to protect them from the ravages that may come down the line. To date, after only 2 years on the job, I have been involved in a construction accident, a fire in a user facility, a confrontation with a tresspasser, a suspected fire, and a several other fires and suspicious incidents (odor report, hard drive fire, building evac (2x), etc.). In every one of those, I have been thanked by the Fire Dept. Capt., but criticized by my own boss or immediate supervisor (as our job is to "observe & report"). I'm a sheepdog I guess. I can't stand by and risk the idea that someone else might be harmed by my own inaction - including the guys who get paid to go into burning buildings. I don't pat myself on the back (much). I simply tell people "It's my job" and bow out of the way to go on about my business. I don't need accolades. It's my job. I wish the rest of my crew or the rest of the people who worked security up here felt even halfway the same way. |
