Considering I worked through multiple bomb threats, a nearby active shooter, and other such things I consider it time well spent. Probably any job with a high degree of public interaction benefits from situational awareness, further.
- scruple 5y agoI agree with this comment because I am the same way. Situational awareness is extremely important to me. But, with these events today, I'm being honest with myself: I live within 5 miles of a major, international US airport. Within 25 miles of a major military installation. Within 35 miles of a major US port. If I go out 50 miles, there are quite literally dozens of high priority targets in SoCal. My point being: If the SLBMs start flying, my entire world is going to be flattened by an air burst before anyone even gets a warning. So, while I am paying active attention (more than I should) to this situation, I also know that, ultimately, worst-case scenario, it really doesn't matter. With that perspective, when I find myself looking at my social feeds a little too much or watching / reading a little too much news, I walk away from it to go spend time with my family.
