A somewhat-wise man once told me "your failure to plan does not constitute an emergency on my part". How many times must I bail people out?

T-minus 4 hours and 36 seconds before I crash into my bed. Dinner then time with family since I barely saw them last week.
Lots of dogs and cats splatting on the ground today... and predictably for the remainder of the week.
Today is a great day to reflect on how our country faced adversity in the most challenging ways, something that we now have seemed to lose.

1.5 hours left for my on call rotation and so far this week I put in 82.8 hours and drove 1515 miles. Can't wait to crash in my bed tonight
Just completed hour 73 of a very long work week and still have some more to go. More than likely I will surpass 80 hours this week alone.
