Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: The sheer cliffs at the mouth of Sydney Harbor have long been a popular Australian suicide spot. But they’re about to get a lot more deadly — the local man who is credited with talking at least 160 people out of killing themselves since 1964 died this week.
Window-watcher Don Ritchie, known as the Angel of the Gap, could spot the troubled ones from his home across the street; he’d wander down to the cliff-edge and calmly ask, “Can I help you in some way?” More often then not, he could. He’d chat with them a bit, then invite them back to his place for a cup of tea.
“My ambition has always been to just get them away from the edge, to buy them time, to give them the opportunity to reflect and give them the chance to realize that things might look better the next morning,” Ritchie once said. “You just can’t sit there and watch them. You’ve got to try and save them.”

That truly is quite sweet. Those who truly want to kill themselves will. However those unsure might fand hope in this strangers genuine kindness.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m44hk3hZjO1qzpwi0o1_400.jpg)
Being an actual adult….
So I have had an interesting week. I start my job next Monday which I am super super excited about. I also got offered a position at Prince of Wales hospital which would be awesome, but I think I prefer the Canterbury job.
So I won’t have a uniform which is alright, so I have to make sure that I wear appropriate clothing. I will get a badge and an ID card saying how lack of awesome I am.
But mostly I realised what an anxious person I am. There are two things causing me to be anxious. Having to call Bankstown hospital and say I no longer want that position and another which makes me so anxious I would rather not talk about it.
I would consider myself quite strong, I have been through a lot of things which I think, have encouraged me to grow thick skin. I am blessed with having many people who love me and support me. It is ridiculous that I can get so nervous and anxious that I want to throw up the orange juice I just drank. I should be more confident and I should be better at dealing with confrontation.
Anxious rant. Need to be a better person nonsense….
So I am becoming more and more anxious about all the med applications which are due in just over two weeks. It is terribly annoying. I am also super super keen to start my new job.
Job 2
So I just got offered another job, just then, it was only part time so I turned it down. It feels so weird. I have never turned down a job before.
Jobs
So I am super super excited. I finally got a full-time job. It is not official, but it will be next week. So next week I learn like when I start and so forth. So for the next year I will be a full time ward clerk for Canterbury Hospital. Yay
