Brutal shift!
you need a break mate.
I'd move if I was you.
Don't suppose you'd consider lightening up your background mate?
Bloody hard to read and its such good stuff.
AREA, and I know what Id have said to the custody sgt. What are they gonna do to you? Put you on the shift..
I said "no" to the custody sergeant if it's of any interest, and went home!
xtp et al; this was a busy shift, unusual but not unheard of. It happens semi regularly at the moment, not least because we're so short on the ground.

Oder so Ich mag zu glauben. Es würde sich besser zu fühlen sowieso. Und wahrscheinlich weniger kosten.gw2 gold
