The blahs!

Now that the cold spell is over, and the holidays are gone, I notice people around me all have bad attitudes and sour pusses..... What happen to the brotherly love?
The deputies are not smiling and laughing lately, Damn, we should all be happy for just having a job to go to with todays economy.
Politics are the hot topics on all the radion waves. Obama, Harry Reid, Michelle Obama, the TV host Jay Leno has a lot of material to work with.

How bout that Tiger Woods? and what about Global Warning! Facebook is the rage, I love it, I keep in close daily contact it all my contacts on a daily basis, it has made America a community again, I just love it. I started back to school again this semester, and working all night at the jail. keeps me busy and I enjoy the fast past, but... not the pressure during the exam crunch. I was told that going to school inconvences my family life. Oh well, I'm 52 years old, your all grown, get your own lives...

Sometimes people come in that are called high profile, meaning that the word of the crime is in the news and everyone knows about it. Depending on the crime, it's sad when you know someone your dealing with molested children, especially when it's the childrens own parents.
You wonder what the hell is wrong with these parents,

Intake and screening

I got assigned to medical intake this month again, oh GOSH! this is the busiest area of the jail, when new people or the regulars come into the facility when they are first arrested.
Man can woman cry.... and cry.... get mad, then cry again.
there is a long medical history you have to try and record from new arrestees.
Have you evey tried to get information from an intoxicated or high person, that's alot of fun.

One night last year a man came into the sallyport (intake area) I was asked to assess his dog bite wounds, he was angry, he was hostile, not a happy camper because a police dog bit him, the police had took him to the hospital emergency room prior to bringing him to the jail. I asked if I could take a look at the wounds. He was still angry, I looked at him and smiled. " Are you retarded?" no why? he replied, I looked at him and said " you were running from the dogs? Dude you have 2 legs, the dog has 4 legs, Yeah he said but " It took him a long time catch me!"

Sometimes you just gotta love this job!
