When I worked security at an acute care hospital in Denver (just east of Downtown) we had a crackhead bang on the door once after visiting hours were over (the doors were locked)- all he wanted was a soda, I told him to go away. After he refused I told him to go away or I would call the cops. He went away. Wooo! That was so exciting!

The only thing that always come to mind is being told to wear a black t-shirt so there wouldn't be an aiming point on your body.
WTF about the shiny badge and the shiny name plate ?

I worked the Zombie Squad for 18 years for snow removal. Sucks when you get a storm that has you on shift for a couple days, then it clears out and you go back to days for a couple of days then back on so shift for 3 or 4 days.
Six weeks of that crap and you don't know if it is day or night, if your coming or going.
I worked nights solid for 2 winters so I would be on an even keel. Ha, what a joke-you lose at least 10 hours of sleep per week and then try to build your garage after you get off of work at 5 am.
Add to that the fun of a 2 year old and the babysitter quits with no notice. Had to deal with that for two weeks till we found another one.

But the best part-one morning I have the kids eating breakfast before the wife gets up and I am on the couch sipping on a barley pop watching the news.
She starts in with "what the hell are you doing, drinking a beer @ 7:00 am?"
"Honey, its 9 at night for me"
"but watching you drink a beer while the kids are eating breakfast...."
"Ok, don't watch me drink a beer and I won't watch you put on your makeup"



And that's how the fight started.......




To those that work the Zombie Squad. It aint easy.....

I've been there- when I got off work at 0400 I would come home and my roommate would be getting up for work about an hour and a half later and I'd be in the living room play Xbox drinking beer... He never got mad a me though. He thought it was kind of amusing. One man's morning is another man's evening.

I worked a rotating shift for about 21 years. That was the job I had when I retired. The rotation was 6 days, 6 evenings, then 7 nights.

I've always kinda had sleep problems. When I was in my early teens my folks took me to a sleep specialist doctor. He said I had/have a 'displaced sleep pattern'. Basically I tend to be a night person. I went to another specialist at 30 years old and was told the same thing. He told me a night job would improve my health. When I was working a day shift I slept 8 to 10 hours a day and was generally tired. On graves I slept 4 or 5 hours and felt great. Now that I am retired I sleep when I feel like it which is I usually go to bed about sunrise and wake up 4 or 5 hours later. I also tend to sleep better in light than the dark.

I'd like you to know at four in the morning, things are coming' to mind
All I see, all I've done, and those I hope to find
I'd like to remind you at four in the morning my world is very still
The air is fresh under diamond skies, makes me glad to be alive.

Then when your 4 hours into your sleep and some asshole calls your phone 3 times in a row. Motherfucker if I don't answer the first call leave a god damn message don't just call three times back to back. I wanted to strangle Bill..instead I gave him a price where I'm going to strangle his wallet. Going to enjoy CO-AR-15 for a while and back to sleep.
