New job!!!

The police Chief just called me.....I've got the Secretary's job I interviewed for! He's sending the paperwork over to be checked off by our city manager. I can't wait.... Monday-Friday, 8-5. I'll actually have holidays and weekends off. I'll have the same benefits, insurance, and not be in freaking lock down! No more rotating shifts. No more screaming mothers saying their baby's not breathing! No more children crying running away from abusive homes. Just paper work, police officers and my own freaking office!! I can't believe it. It's a cut in pay. Not much, only $25.00 a week, but I can deal with that. Knowing my hours, and that I can have holidays with my family means alot! My mom has been harping on me about not spending enough time with Granny since she's been so sick. I can't take Trey to his practices because I'm asleep before work or have to leave before it's over with. Had to share...... I am excited; mainly for my family life.... I hate to leave dispatching, but at least I'm still in law enforcement in a minor way.

YIPPIE Sherri!!! I am happy for you, I have no idea what it is like to work Mon-Fri and 8-5 WOW Dispatching is a great job, but it really does get in the way of life with it's awful schedules!! Congrats on the new job, and best of luck!!! (I am green with envy!) Brianna

Thanks Brianna.... You guys still going to welcome me on the board??? LOL Sherri

Even though you are bailing on us, onward an upward... once a dispatcher always a dispatcher.. besides how else will we know how well you are doing if you leave us !?!?! You better stick around!! haha Brianna

I know this to be true. I did it part time in high school, then full time when I graduated for 8 1/2 years! Left it for 3 years to have my son and have been back at it for almost 3 years. Sherri
