5: This is your brain on...

[welf]

Many people have split minds: their Everyday Brain and Work Brain. Some find it difficult to divide the two, even with a job where they leave their work at the office and go home

This is wonderful. I get "work brain" and sometimes things are not easy either. When I have to report abuse or fraud and it has such a devestating effect on people. nicely done!

Yup. There's Medic Me, who is loud and outgoing and able to solve All The Problems. And then there's Home Me, who doesn't like making decisions, doesn't like her routine disrupted, and would rather be left to her own devices.

I have a Courthouse Brain as well. When it's on, there is only one side to any story, and it's the one that favors my client. When it's off, things are murkier.

Really fascinating - there must be so many stories at your job!

What an educational and thought-provoking look from the inside of your work. I would imagine it's pretty hard to deal with the many mixed emotions.
