Avoid

If at all possible, avoid getting your fingers caught in the heavy metal doors at the jail. It is VERY painful and cause bruising and swearing.

Evaluation

Waiting for my shift to start there is large envelope in my work box (a small cubby hole that messages can be put for me).
I open it and I am greeted by my evaluation form....for 2008-2009.
I can't even remember what I did that period.
Satisfied with what is on there I sign and eagerly await 2009-2010.

-I always told said "You are taking up valuable space my bag could be occupying, so I am going to make you do stuff"
"that experience helped alot."
-good luck

Court

With my temporary re-assignment came with a flurry of subpoenas. The courts have caught up with their caseload and with it came summons.
For April alone I had over 40, including traffic court. Only the traffic court actually happened.

Why not

While having too much time on my hand and my temporary assignment being slow, uneventful and an excerise in patience, I have sadly neglected the blog.
Several times I had things to post about, but it seemed pointless and only remind me that I wasn't in patrol anymore.
I briefly considered pulling the plug, having lost direction.
But rather than wallowi, I decided to move ahead.
