That mean that, before the start of a long day, I had to go home after a regular shift and try to take a cat nap during the afternoon in order to be able to last the night. This is to comply with the 8 hour rest period required by law, though after you drive home and do what you have to do with the kids, the eight hours of rest get squeezed. Because we do not get assigned to our "regular" areas (you go where the work is, not where you would like to) you often have to leave over an hour ahead of time to make it in time to your assignment. <br />At the end of the extra work in the middle of the night, and in route to my regular shift, it happened; I dozed off. <br />Any regular patron would have seen me, taken a picture of me, and without any knowledge of how much sleep I had in me over the last 24 hours, would have declared me some lazy bum. <br />To those who walk the tracks, people in the middle of a day like mine need two eyes on them. They are, in our untrained opinion, not as alert. You can't help it, you are tired.<br /><br />Is it an excuse? Yes, it is. But don't automatically chalk the person as just being lazy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-37983105187582680422009-11-10T14:41:21.895-05:002009-11-10T14:41:21.895-05:00I am sure, Anon, they will "take it into acco...I am sure, Anon, they will "take it into account". hah!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-34386505307175640002009-11-10T13:38:03.658-05:002009-11-10T13:38:03.658-05:00I want the assurance that Metro is "looking i...I want the assurance that Metro is "looking in to this matter." ::snicker::Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689506078297112665.post-42128538516138900762009-11-10T11:11:11.302-05:002009-11-10T11:11:11.302-05:00The weird thing is, if that first guy had not been...The weird thing is, if that first guy had not been on duty, I don't think it would have been a problem. Many people sleep on the train.
