So my last night at work was interesting. We had a rather excitable slightly drunk man come in and tell me that there was a guy lying on the ground and that he was non-responsive. I headed out the guardroom to check on him. I am not sure if he was non-responsive, but when I got to him he was sitting up, bawling his eyes out because his girlfriend had left him a couple of weeks previously. He'd been sick all over himself, had pee'd himself and was all dirty from lying on the ground. There was a gaggle of drunks standing around and as I am trying to sort him out, they all started pushing each other, building up towards a fight. I managed to sort them out and send them on their way and figured that although he didn't seem in immediate medical danger that I should take him back to the guard room and sort him out a bit.

He then started trying to punch walls and himself while apologising constantly for being a p***y and crying his heart out. He was ginger and looked a lot like Ed Sheeran, but with a scraggly beard. Anyway when he started trying to hit himself we figured we'd get someone more qualified to look after him, besides we don't have the manpower to look after random drunks, so we got the duty officer in to have a look at him and then he called in the duty padre (in addition to being priests they have various qualifications in psychology and therapy). Two hours later he was still bawling his eyes out. I was impressed he still had enough liquid in his body to keep pouring out the tears. I did get info out of him on where his room was and that he was due to be taking an early train later that morning. The duty officer escorted him back to his room and got the service police to check in on him a couple of times to make sure he didn't self-harm or choke to death on his own vomit.

I have no idea if he made his train. I doubt he'd remember the night, but a report will have went to the SWO, who might have a word with his CO so he might find out about it that way.

Happy holidays everyone.

I do hate Christmas. With a passion. It's not about a religion anymore. It's about money.
And Tara Sue died Xmas Eve, 2008.
Bah, humbug.

That his own son was the assailant is worse.
And the horrifically insensitive, disgusting comments left by the orange abomination about the whole tragedy made me want to put my fist through something.

Not to show the USA any disrespect but I never realized how much of an idiot Trump is until I read his insensitive tweet. 😔😔
