Yesterday, I had mandatory overtime. I had to do 16 hours, then go in today. We have a list everyday of people who have to work overtime. I was not on it the previous day so did not expect to be second on the list.
If I had known I would have been prepared, I would have brought a sandwich for the evening and a snack for the night. The sandwich would have been turkey and 2 slices of wheat bread while the snack would have been some grapes.
There is no refridgeration at work for the employees to use. And with only 15 minutes for a break, that makes it impossible to go anywhere for food. The building is parish owned and they are slow on doing anything to improve the working conditions for the sheriff office employees.
Everyone know that if you work a high stress job it is important to eat right and to get enough sleep. On top of that I was recently dianosed as a type 2 diabetic, so meals are very important.
