Yeah - I'm crap aren't I. Having a run of bad luck when transporting infectious people who don't need ambulances is just asking for the sack. Is your policy the same as ours? Or is it harsher? Because if it's the same then I would doubt your ability to put yourself in my shoes. Try eating properly when you are working thirteen hours a day *without* a mealbreak. Try having a social life when you work shifts. Try getting some sleep when your body is screaming at you at all hours of the day. Try going to the gym when your pay ain't briliant and you can't go regularly because of shift work. Maybe they'll sack me then I can get a job in a bank where I can do all those things you suggest instead of being jetlagged all the damn time. Maybe I can be happy making money for other people.
