I should actually be working 8h a day, but most of it is spend not working. If I'm honest I'm probably working more like 3h a day even though I enjoy my job.

I really like "wait" being part of that. A whole lot of callers will just go on forever if you let them, they talk in circles, try to tell you their entire life story, repeat themselves, and ramble on about a bunch of irrelevant stuff that I'm not going to do anything with and isn't going into my notes. There's exceptions of course, but very often I'm boiling everything down to about 5 or less short bullet-point-like notes, not even full sentences. We're not taking a report, that's the cops' job, we're just telling them where to go, a brief description of what's going on, and any important hazards or strange situations that are going on they need to be on the lookout for.
