Most of you know that I work in the school-house, and during the summer, they've got to find us something to do if we don't have enough leave time. I injured myself last January, and missed the whole basketball season at the high school, so I owe the Sheriff some time. I went this morning to report for assignment, and they assigned me to Courthouse Security.
It's not bad duty, running a metal detector and working with some great folks. Lots of laughter, lots of interesting facts, and lots of time on my feet. It is 8:00-4:30, so that ain't bad either. I'm there when the unlock the doors to the Courthouse and I'm there when they lock them. And I look at everybody who comes in the door. It probably won't be an assignment where I make many arrests, but I'm in air-conditioning and I enjoy the work. Two out of three ain't bad..
Take it and run! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis was my last assignment before I retired. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteMost months, I had the best arrest record in Uniform Division, due to warrant service and arrests on a Judge's order. Tip: get some serious Bates footgear. Eight hours on feet on concrete will get to your feet, knees and back.
I hear ya, Rivrdog. I've been wearing Bates boots for 10 years. One new pair every six months. Not that they're worn out, but that new boots don't get worn out.
