    My Christmas present was blowing up 7500lbs of unserviceable ammo out in the Philippines. Also got hooked up with an extra night in Manila before I head back down south. I love my job.

    I'm 911 dispatch too.. but we always work 12 hour shifts.. sometimes 18.. sometimes 24.
    being forced over for 24 hours SUCKS!

    Still crossing my fingers that i'll get to go home at 7am!

    Annnddddd i'm stuck at work until 10am.. "supervisor" said he'll work 10-1ish then i'd have to come back in.. hah... yea, no. Can't really legally make me work 15 hours - break for 3 hours - then work 18 hours.

    :mad: I hate lazy people. I don't even really see this day as anything other than another day but still.... I don't want my partner working since this is his babies first christmas and all.

    Working 1600 to 2400 today. As long as the planes are flying around, or not, I'll be controlling them, or not. Air traffic control isn't what it used to be. Glad I retire in a year or so. Got so many dirt roads to follow..
