[QUOTE="bigbrownhen, post: 556462, member: 20495"] I couldn't imagine being a single parent and do this job. I have a few friends that are and it is tough. Having someone to take care of the kid's needs, dinner, baths, dr appt, homework, ect, is a godsend. Making sure they are taken care of reduces the stress you have at work. Its one less thing you have to worry about and keeps you focused on the job. You are getting some very important advice here. [B][U]TAKE YOUR LUNCH AND BREAKS![/U][/B] The more you do ,the more they expect. Just do the job [B]SAFELY.[/B] Follow all methods, and just do the job the best you can. I know its hard to just let things slide sometimes, but management is responsible for dispatch. They will try to come down on you, but in time, they will learn you won't take it anymore. If they try and disipline or harass you, that's what a grievence is for. If that happens, there are alot of people here who can advise you on that as well. I have been there, we all have. If you truely want to provide for your kids, then don't be a runner gunner. That will only make you bitter and end up with injuries that can shorten your career, not to mention the risk of having a serious accident. If you are like me, you are in this for the long haul,(21 more years for me), so take care of yourself. Its all in how you look at it. [/QUOTE]
