The past several days has been stressful. Stress from work is taking its toll, over the past several months we have been losing people for various reasons and those that remain has been forced to take up the slack. A 40hr week with two 12hr shifts and two 8hr shifts has quickly become four to six 12hrs shifts. The limiting patrol procedures has created complacency due to performing the same route each and every day. I hope that we can hire a few people soon, but with as strict as they are on the standards most that has came through the process has been rejected somewhere along the way.
The passing of a friend's mother has also been draining. So hard to see someone lose their parent. Someone that has always been there for you since you were born, a friend that never wants anything but the best for you. There is a deep void left that cannot be filled. A son and daughter lost their mother, a husband lost a wife of 58 years. Only thing that you can do is comfort them the best you can. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and saddest to lose a parent, although it is one thing that I fear, because that day will surely come, I only can hope that I still have several more years to enjoy spending time with both my parents.
