Last week I started working for a company doing patrol, in downtown in a district known for crime and violence. I have about 30 hits to do, half of which are apartment's that require me to walk every floor. We have to take pictures on our work phone once about every 15 seconds, I literally dont even see the sites because I cant look up from my phone long enough. You take a picture and label it through 3 different menus and your at your next picture before you look up.

My first week I didn't get a single break or lunch. Before I started my first shift, we had to change the tire of the vehicle.

I have to remove between 5-10 homeless a night form various properties. The first night included a guy with a samurai sword. Were unarmed.

I just had my first weekend and they called me every day asking to pick up shifts.

Everyone goes by officer, corporal, lieutenant etc. Feels very larpy.

I come in here and read about people browsing reddit all day, and I haven't had a chance to breathe or eat in a week.

Did I have false expectations or am I working a particularly bad position?

Asking for myself.
