20 years and I have always been at the end where it matters the most and I have never been able to be released to do nice things yet for 20 years ive paid into a sports fund for officers to have fun. Yet the same people dictate to me I am not in a position to have time off.
End of the day who cares... nobody. no point moaning just get on with it and take what you can
