Please get me thru this 12h shift quickly so I can see those awesome 2 days off.  Its been a crazy 6 days and I need real time on my own not with work pressure to process things.  I have done some but between working 9-10 hour overnight shifts and trying to sleep it hasnt been easy.  Heres hoping right

Einstein's simplified explanation of Time Relativity might apply here. "Think of the difference between an hour spent in a board meeting versus an hour spent with a pretty girl."

Night shifts are where I developed my weird sense of humor. . .

Empathy and support. Wish I could loan you my time machine. I'm almost finished building it. Maybe next week? I need a test subject.

As long as no weird mutations occur Im game to try it. Is it a go backwardstforwards in time and stay there or can you return to the present?

Maybe a less work load or shorter shift will do you good .This will enable you to catch up with sleep and reflect regarding your career if you are in need of a change.

Thought about it but right now Im stuck, being the only one trained to do this specific patrol route. The primary person quit last week leaving me the primary person for the route and he trained me about 4-6 weeks ago if that so until Im more comfy and can train someone Im stuck on these 6 on/1 off shifts

Gotta be decent candidates to train first. Honestly I was the best candidate for promotion they had in the past 6-12 months but hey I keep thinking, sure I will do these outrageous schedules, they know Im wiped out. If I crash a squad car, its on them, I warned them

Yh thats what you call a tight budget , I think its time to put your foot down and tell them

Oh I have. I said working 66 hours this work week was fine since it was made before I could say anything but starting next week I basically demanded Thursday and Friday off or I would take myself off that route leaving them with nobody and about 50 pissed off clients who's property isnt being patrolled. Lets see if they give me another six in a row on the next schedule

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
