Standby

This is one duty I loathe, 0500-1300 home standby, actually got up at 0600 showered etc now on sofa awaiting the phone ringing, it's now 0806 and so tired but with an hour and a half from phone ringing to arriving at work is tight so I have to be ready to throw the uniform on and head out the door. Brings back late 80's memories, I seem to be going back in time and career rather than forward. Ah well, life can be cruel sometimes and we have to deal with what cards we are dealt!!
