I know first hand how hard nurses work. My wife is a nurse in a large suburban hospital. She puts her n’shama into it for 11 hours a day, four days a week. As to the general issue, my approach is that the more undesireable the job being done is to me, the more careful I am about expressing appreciation. I happen to hate clearing a table; the task just disgusts me. Thus I make sure to thank anyone who does it for me; waiters, waitresses or even my kids when they do it at home.
