    Anyway, you're just sore over my Mother Theresa comparison from ages ago.

    I guess, but it all depends on what level your expenses are geared for. Lotsa pros and cons. Pros is shift work may allow more chances to attend school things, do stuff during the weekday etc. Leave provisions. Job enjoyment. Making a positive contribution to the community. Con is that shiftwork means less quality weekends, stuffed up sleep patterns, missing some family things. Overtime (paid or unpaid is irrelevant, it's still time spent working). Can't hang your "work" clothes on the washing line (not in my area - you'd be asking for trouble). And there would a "pig" in the family, oh dear God that could be the end of the world for some families! In my particular case the immediate sacrifice may be that I just don't upgrade the bike - hardly a "real" issue to me. But my daughter goes to a private school. So the reality is, she'd be changing schools within a year or two because the income just wouldn't support it. I can live without a [insert 2006 model 1000cc sportsbike here]. But should I expect my daughter to change schools, with all the implications on friendships that entails?

    I'm not complaining, I still love the job. I was just pointing out the realities of the situation.

    I myself have only ever had good experiences with the 5-0. I feel a little bit of respect and acceptance of your mistakes goes a long way, it's saved me over $1000 in fines in my brushes with the law. I must say though small town cops have always been a lot nicer than the slickers that I have met. A dickhead doesn't last very long in a town where everyone knows everyone else and they tend to get shunned socially pretty damned quickly. I am currently in my 3rd year at canti uni but am seriously considering joining the police at the end of this year. I would much rather make less money and enjoy the job, than be stuck in some shitty little office racking it in and hating every minute of it. The only problem I have with the police entrance is colour blindness, I able to distinguish and name every single colour but have been tested as being mildly colour blind, I feel that it's stupid that I may not get in just because of this.

    I must have saved tens of thousands by not having brushes with them.
    Just as well, because I'm a bolshie prick.
