A Firefighter's Life!
It may take you two minutes to read this, but if you do not take the time to read this you are one of the people this post is talking about.
You stay up for 16 hours
He's been for 48 straight
_________________________
You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
The rain in the middle of the interstate keeps him awake.
__________________________
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He's chilled to the bone, hasn't eaten all day, has the flu, and then runs into a burning building
__________________________
You drink your coffee on your way to the mall.
He pumps on a five year olds chest on the way to the hospital.
__________________________
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket.
He makes sure the pass device on his pack is working.
__________________________
You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He watches his buddy fall through four floors of a burning building.
__________________________
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He walks down the highway looking for the motorcyclists missing limb.
_________________________
You complain about how hot it is.
He wears fifty pounds of gear in the middle of July and drags a body out of 1600 degree flames.
__________________________
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He hasn't seen a meal since last shift, when he ate breakfast.
__________________________
Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He's worn the same stinking, wet, grungy clothes for the past 24 hours....no time for a shower.
__________________________
You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He holds the hair of some college girl while shes puking in the back of the ambulance.

You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
His shift ended 2 hour
