Where ya been?????????

Sorry folks, been busy talkin to management, dispatchers, police officers, calltakers, citizens. What Let's talk found out is that we are doin a damn good job!!!!!!!!
We are always made to look at the bad guys, WE didn't get that job out or WE didn't do a 100 percent with our statistics, or WE didn't come to work when WE were sick! And after all the research and talks, WE do 110 percent and maybe 20 percent of that is appreciated by everyone else. We work our lunches when we have to, we come to work on our days off when we are asked, we work with whoever you give us and we get the job done, we put up with citizens swearing at us and yelling at us, we deal with our Xmas dinner being taken away from us and not complaining, we deal with getting slammed every other day with a reprimand because we were sick, truly sick and forgive me if it was after my day off, we deal with coming in on holidays, leaving our kids at home with their freshly opened new toys sprawled out, we deal with no sleep on midnights coming to work half dead because we tried to be a family member after all this job isn't all we have to do, we deal with having no parking in the parking lot because we employees have to make room for visitors, we deal with the police officer that chooses to talk to us like we are idiots (thankfully its not many), we deal with ALL OF IT, AND WE DO A DAMN GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So on this Christmas morning, yes I am done with all of my research, I am proud to be where I am at, and I think I speak on behalf of alot of us Operations Floor Employees when I say that place wouldn't run without us. We are doing the best job we can based on what we are given and the atmosphere we are in. We are where it all begins, we deserve a whole heck of alot more recognition, respect than we are getting. Merry Christmas to all and Let us all hope that in 2007 we find ourselves in the best of health, and that this is OUR year, the year we receive what is rightfully due to us!
