Tough Week

           This was a really tough week for us here, not financially (thank goodness) but emotionally, physically: just a shitty week.

G has been so stressed out at work. Last weekend he worked a night shift on Saturday, which is fine as he is used to it. But then he came home at around 4am, slept for 4 hours and had to work a 9am – midnight shift. Then this week he worked alone for two separate nights. Tomorrow (which should have been his day off) he is working a 10 hour shift for a near by town; so he gets home tonight really late (he is working a night shift) and then has to wake up early to do this day shift. And guess what? It’s been 7 months now and still no raise. He keeps bringing it up at work, sending off emails. Like how discouraging: this is our government. It’s infuriating that they think it’s okay to have these overworked, over tired zombies as a police force. It’s not safe for anyone.

We’ve both try so hard to be positive at home but this week was just really difficult and very upsetting…

Edit - G just texted me. He filled out his time sheet: 44hours of OVERTIME on top of the 40 hours of regular time. I started to half laugh half cry. Our emotions are extremely confused right now.
