Just imagine.
Dude, just imagine that shit.
You work in a career, and this goes for military, first responders, health, everybody, but you work in a career where you do such a great job.
Dude, they're not paying you extra.
They're not telling you to do all the extra shit, but then you are.
I'm working seven days out of the week.
I'm packaging evidence on Sunday so I could get ready for the cases to be charged on Monday.

It's bullshit.
