Overtime Tuesday

It was another overtime Tuesday at my house.  Last week Dragon worked over 70 hours.  It makes for a good paycheck but I sure do miss him.

We sat down to eat with an empty spot at the table.  I cooked alone and w ate without him. I hate it.  Who knows what time he will get home.  I will be waiting.

It is bad this year.  He was scheduled to work 7 days a week. He finally pulled out the ADA and asked for reasonable accommodations.  As soon as the new supervisor figured out he has PTSD, it wasn't an issue.

Last year they only worked one Sunday and had to be done by 6.  Somehow he was still putting in ridiculous hours.

This too shall end.  Christmas Eve will end the rush.

  1. Sorry Dragon is having such a rough time and it is lonely for both of you. Sending lots of prayers and positive energy...you two will make it through.

    Hugs and Blessings...

    1. Everybody is overworked. People are starting to call in sick just to get some rest. 7 days a week. 16 hour days. More and more accidents are happening. The union is useless. We will be okay. Just two more weeks. :-)

  2. Glad his new supervisor was accomodating. Christmas is only 15 days away now, praying for his continued stamina to get through the season.

    1. Not sure what kind of paperwork would have to be done but his supervisor didn't want it. I am very happy he gets this one day off.

    1. He is so tired. 6 am to 9 or 10 pm most days. It will slow down soon.

  4. GREAT NEWS! I woke up on my left side curled around Dragon. It was uncomfortable but NOT painful. I am on the mend.
