Not to complain, but I have been at work for the past 60 jours and have 36 yet to go. Due to scheduling conflicts and our department being down a medic, it has this week created the need for me to work 2 back to back 48 hour shifts. That is 96 strait hours. I have never done that before. So far, we have not run any calls. We have not done anything but clean around the quarters. I am in my little room today. It is like a 13X13 cell with internet, digital tv and playstation. It is kind of like one of those white collar prisons. Where those criminals go that commit non violent crimes of a financial matter. While the key difference is that I am being paid overtime as of midnight last night. That makes it all worth it. If I were a single man, I would do this al the time. But I am not, I am a man with a beautiful wife and 3 incredible kids at home. I miss them. I really cannot wait to get home. Only 34 more hours to go.....

Hope you are enjoying your time home with the family!
That's crazy Dennis! Even me, as I am single, would not want to be in that situation. As I get older, the less I sell myself to work because I know there is no payoff when you can't build on the relationships around you.
Sometimes as a father and a provider, you are forced to sacrifice things to do just that. I am OK with that, but plan to take it easier in November to rebuild those relationships.
