Yes, long time. I am, for the most part, dedicated my life (not by choice) to work. Here is what I do... I am a Claims Examiner for Worker's Compensation or WC. Basically this, say you work at Target and you are moving boxes. Box falls of your head, laceration (non-disabling I'm sure) and you have to seek medical treatment. That is WC, that is what I do. It isn't fun, you see some funny s**t and its a lot of laws and deadlines and stuff like that. But I'm also under many deadlines and on top of my own claims I'm also an assistant to three other examiners (all wonderful women) which is more work.

I work from 7:30 to 4:00 but I don't get home until between 5 and 5:30. By the time I get home I'm really exhausted. So I apologize if you have to deal with me during the week and I'm rather snippy.

It also changes a slight outlook on things. Dealing with people that have medical conditions that cause them to lose work and thus lose money (a bad situation) makes dealing with people who lose items not that significant. I know, sorry though.

Also, my family is taking care of a new cat, who will soon be expecting more kittens! This is the first time I've ever had a pregnant cat... It will be interesting.
