[16:39] <SilverLion> merry x-mas to everyone!
[17:32] <pleia2> happy hannukkah :)
[17:35] <SilverLion> pleia2 hope u are alright again ... read your tweets about hospital
[17:35] <pleia2> thanks, I'm still quite sick, but at least I'm home :)
[17:41] <SilverLion> pleia2 may i ask what happened?
[17:42] <pleia2> food poisoning
[17:42] <SilverLion> :/
[17:43]  * SilverLion has been honored this week for doing his job :(
[17:43] <pleia2> congrats!
[17:43] <SilverLion> did nothing special
[17:43] <pleia2> it's nice to be noticed though :)
[17:46] <SilverLion> i am trained as a medic ... several months before i was tasked to serve as medic and had to seem a forearm of a woman
[17:47] <SilverLion> noticed that her Circulatory problems were worse then expected first and called a Helicopter for assistance against the will of the husband of that woman
[17:49] <SilverLion> and yesterday suddenly my mobile rang and a voice asked me to come to the mayor (?) s Office where i was given a speech of honor and a pen because shortly after arriving at the hospital that woman fell into coma
[17:49] <SilverLion> and the doctors would not have been able to cure her if she had waited even 5 mins longer
[17:50] <SilverLion> that is the story behind
[17:50] <pleia2> wow!
[17:50] <pleia2> sounds like you did very good work :) worthy of being noticed
[17:50] <SilverLion> that is nothing to be proud of ... i did the job i was trained for
[17:52] <pleia2> well, sometimes it's important to be recognised even for that
[17:53] <SilverLion> yeah but that husband offered me money to say "thank you" and in my opinion a human live is more worth then money
[17:53] <SilverLion> dont you agree?`
[17:53] <pleia2> personally I'd decline money and accept a verbal "thank you"
[17:54] <pleia2> but I am not much of a money person
[17:54] <SilverLion> as am I pleia2 as am I
[17:55] <SilverLion> I offered him the deal to put that money he offered me personally into the bank account of my EMT-Unit where it is needed to support a project in central russia (bying clothes etc.)
[17:55] <pleia2> good idea!
[17:56] <SilverLion> but i took the pen ;)
[17:56] <SilverLion> It's a real beauty ;)
[17:56] <pleia2> hehe
[17:57] <SilverLion> and - if everything goes well - i might be on the Full Circle Magazine Podcast to talk about my work (layouting Ebooks!)
[17:58] <pleia2> yay :)
[18:00] <SilverLion> so ... finishing up my work for the day
[18:01] <pleia2> good luck
[18:01] <SilverLion> i was allowed to work from home today *happy*
[18:02] <SilverLion> that makes it so much more comfortable
[18:02] <pleia2> nice
[18:04] <SilverLion> pleia2 do you mind a personal question?
[18:05] <pleia2> ask away
[18:05] <SilverLion> pleia2 what are you doing for a living?
[18:05] <SilverLion> i mean ... you are doing a lot for this community, aren't you?

[18:07] <SilverLion> that's cool. I'll keep that in mind ... just in case i need a new printer :D
[18:07] <pleia2> I don't kids yet, don't have much of a social life, don't really watch TV and my fiance works a lot (he works at google), so I have a lot of free time :)
