I came home from work:
Her: How was your day at work?
Me: It sucked.
Her: (she is a teacher) My day was horrible too! I had tests to give the kids, teacher drama, end of the school year..blah, blah, blah...
Me: It must have been a tough day.
Her: What happened at work with you?
Me: It started calm, although it was very hot to be in uniform. First call was an elderly man who was burned 30% of his body with 3rd degree burns. He was cooking lunch and caught himself on fire. His body shut down and he died.
Me: Then a man walking down the street with a pickaxe decided bath salts was a great mood enhancer. he "axed" several cars containing innocent people, walked into traffic, and tried to hit one of my crew. In reverence for human-life, one of my men Tazed him, but that did not quite work. They took him down, he kicked them, spit on them, and was out of control. One of my guys suffered a broken ankle.
Me: Then I get a call from a person having a dispute with his neighbor. He wants me to break down the neighbor's door, beat him up, and take him to jail. I told him that would be violating as many guaranteed rights and Constitution protections. He called me every name in the book and attempted to educate me. He told me he pays my salary with his taxes. I asked him for a raise.
Me: Overtime has been cut again as we deal with personnel shortages and increased crime rates. I had to staff a shift 3 men/women short and tell them to be safe.
Me: My day sucked and it was only Wednesday. Today is Friday and tomorrow is Saturday and we are short staff again.
Her: ......crickets
