Of all the things I thought I'd be doing at this hour ( Read more... )

Holiday time of the year always seems to help the department now and then, making sure we're doing our jobs, saving kids from icicles and from playing around in fireplaces. They take it one step further and it's more work for the boys in red ( Read more... )

If it ain't one thing, it's another. Guess we should thank our lucky stars that it isn't a widespread epidemic, but Mischief Night and Halloween days are equally troublesome. Still got some old war wounds from times before, but with all those kids on the streets with sugar high, what would you expect ( Read more... )

Right now I'm not even sure if the cough I'm developing is the cigarettes finally doing me in or that I've finally joined the bandwagon and started to cough out my lungs. Even so, I've been trying to stay away from packs just in case. Maybe even get a bag or two of cough drops ( Read more... )

Earthquake went by pretty well, although it's best to say that no earthquake is a damn good earthquake. The boys in red with their shiny toy trucks cleaned up most of the mess while a lot of us just made sure no curious citizen wanted to steal pieces of buildings or make them into playgrounds ( Read more... )

Reminders to self: bring a bag of clothes for convenience to Kurenai's next time. And maybe a couple of dog bones to save the only pair of pants I have at her place.

Paper kills trees and underpaid officers of the force. Someone should put that in the suggestion box.

Sabaku, you're with me on desk duty tomorrow. I don't want to hear your "if's" or "why's". At least it isn't a coffee request, be thankful for that.

Who's hoarding all of the aspirins around here?

After that mountain of work, I think I've officially kicked the resolution to quit smoking down the gutter. The higher ups better be damned happy with this work and re-do's are out of the question. I didn't BS twenty reports just to retype them again, they'll just have to deal with the fact that every patrol was a success and that whoever was my ( Read more... )

San Fran isn't much of a difference from New Jersey in gas prices, but the temperature is definitely different. Here's hoping that while I was gone, someone died and whoever got promoted says that we all can wear tanks and shorts to work. But Bradley's tough, so we'll probably have to keep ironing and starching our shirts until we retire ( Read more... )
