title: Kathleen Mears Memorial Lecture: END: let's get fired up!
abstract: When you do the same job day in and day out, it is easy to become bored and uninterested. You might even forget why you ever took the job in the first place. We all need a little motivation from time to time to keep us going. The following article was originally presented as a motivational talk at the 2009 ASET Conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The article examines how and why a particular technologist entered the field of electroneurodiagnostics and how she keeps herself motivated after many years. The presentation was a memorial in honor of Kathleen Mears who managed to motivate others throughout her career.
