Val: If there's something worse than going to an OFFICE on a warm summer day... Val: When the rest of the family is still in their PJs...and their only obligation is getting to the POOL in time for swim lessons... Val: Where was I going with that?? Wally: I'm not sure, but you're depressing me.
How about working a traffic accident at 0300, in a driving rain on a hot night, so you feel as if you are at the bottom of a lake, and you know you will be there until dawn. Then comes notifiying family about the accident, and then the paperwork. If you are a deputy, with a take home squad, if it’s either still raining, so you can’t put the windows on the squad down, or you are too tired to remember to, you will have a wet car seat at the start of thye next shift. Does that make your day sound any easier, Val?
