I just cannot fathom what Botham went through when he was in his own home relaxing when out of no where a woman barges into the sanctity of his home and fires upon him. The sheer terror of being shot knowing that you are going to die and not knowing why. My God.
All because a selfish mentally unstable woman ( yes mentally unstable).
Too bad that she was tired from her few extra hours of overtime. She knew prior to swearing under oath to become a public server, she would be expected to perform overtime.
So she was well aware that upon clocking in each and every workday, circumstances may occur that would lead to more than an 8 hour day.
Just like I knew that and my co-workers knew that. Your errands, gym time and other things are planned on your days off unless you were lucky enough to get out after 8 hours in a workday, then you could go to the gym, shopping or whatever after work. Either way, you always have to be alert. ( if you have a question about this please ask me)
We planned ahead, yes you plan your sleep time. It was our responsibility to ensure that we took steps to be alert and aware on and off the job.
Our job was public safety, we knew that overtime would occur on any given workday,we knew that prior to accepting our job.
In order to protect the public, it is your duty to adjust and conform to the demands of the job on and off duty.
Sorry so long I could have gone on longer.
