Topic: 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.
Topic: HOWDY ALL!!!
just posting a little HELLO ! 
I hope everyone is doing well and getting ready for the holidays.. I know I will be doing some last minute shopping as usual (I know what I want to get, just need the money to get it haha)

Take care

That is too funny. I love when I get stuff like that. It makes the day a lot more bearable. I know what you mean about trying to hold back the laughter. It's not easy sometimes.
I once had a really belligerent (sp?) drunk yelling at me that we were violating his civil rights by keeping him in custody. I almost peed myself when I said "Sir, the officer told you you're free to go at anytime. You were never the one under arrest" and he responded by asking me how he could leave when we have locked up in this little cell. I said "Sir, you're in the lobby and the door isn't locked". He said, I am? Well then what the hell am I doing here? I almost fell over.
He then proceeded to harrass me about having one of the officers drive him home. I told him I'd call him a cab and he agreed, but he refused to tell me where it would be taking him. We had to spend about 10 minutes explaining to him that if we don't tell them where they're going, they won't pick you up. He was a moron, but very entertaining. Oh, and he claimed to be in the miltary, which was a lie, and called himself Commander Mad Dog.

You gotta love the funny calls... People will surprise you once in a while, it is a nice break from all the serious stuff. thanks for sharing.. working overnights, we don't get much of anything (that's the problem with a small county) I miss the fun of day shift that is when we got the best calls!
Topic: SOOOOO EXCITED!!
Well, I did it. I weighed in and had lost another 1 1/2lbs. I can't believe it!! I lacked 1/2 pound being at the 10lbs mark in the center, but I know that I have really lost 10.5lbs because I started my own stuff before enrolling at Metabolic Research Center.
Also, guess what??? I am right now, sitting here, comfortably in a pair of Tommy Hilfiger ....drum roll....... SIZE 12 JEANS!!! I have not worn a pair of size 12 ANYTHING since I was 19 years old!! I have dropped major inches in the past week!! I was in size 16's. I'm so excited. I cried when I got them on without much force at all! (you know, lying down, sucking in your gut, holding your breath, then ROLLING around to get up, and thinking that you can make it without deep breathing much air all day...... or is that just me???) 
I was so excited, I had to share. I am sitting here crying writing this. I finally feel it's working, and I can actually see it for the first time.
Thanks for listening to me rant like some crazy woman.

Sherri Topic: Funny lighter side story to tell~~~
I love the lighter side of our jobs..........
I had a lady call last night just raising all heck about she wanted her man out of her house "cause he's acting the fool". 
I asked her if there were any weapons involved (protocol you know) She said "Why no, not yet.....but I do have a kitchen slam full of knives & such." Then she starts yelling at her "Man" and says "Yes fool.... I'm calling the police on your dumb a**. I done told you not to be threatening me. I've had enough of you. You better limp your crippled self down those stairs before I roll your sorry tail down em'" I was trying my best to hold back the laughter and was about in tears. She then tells me the cops are there, and that he's hobbling out the front door. I asked her if he was handicapped or injured and she said "Shoot no, child. He had hip replacement surgery and can only go side to side, not straight. If he tries to give the cops a hard time, tell em' not to hit him in his right hip, cause we done paid too much money for it. They can hit or kick him in the left one though". I thought I would die!!! When I hung up, we played that call back at least 10 times to let everyone laugh!
