14 hour days are no fun. It's getting to be a bit much.
I guess it wouldn't seem that bad if I were starting at a normal time. But working till 4:00am makes everything seem a lot longer.
The craziest thing about all of it is considering the fact that the work we're doing is fairly vital to people conducting their lives (I mean, pretty much everyone relies on having roads in some way) all of these people don't get any credit or respect from the people they deserve it from. Like, I had to sign this guy out last night and he starts telling me about how he got an infection and his leg has been killing him. So I look down to see that the leg he's been driving with for 16 hours is so bruised and puffy it looks like it might have been broken.
I'm sure it wasn't... but jesus.
I dunno. I've been feeling very motivated to change my line of work. It's just a shame that anyone has to work like that.

you've only been at work for.. almost four hours. and I miss you like Charlie misses dangling his tail out the litter box door.
this is retarded. YOU COME HOME NOW.
oh! and! I was hearing some weird dripping sound next to me that was sort of freaking me out, so I looked around the room and...
your beer is finally fermenting! I hope it's a good one. I can't wait to try it.
I love you, btw, just so you know, and I just farted so horribly you'd probably be proud.
