Default Ever wondered why you do the job you do?

After my night shift last night I asked myself this question.

Went on parade and there was only me and one other on shift, I got assaulted (only minor) but found myself still concious about how I treated that person that assaulted me (I was nice), spent ages trying to climb a 7ft metal fence ripping my hands to shreads and ended up taking all my protective kit off to crawl under to get caked in mud just to look in 6 foot nettles and long overgrown shrubs to get stung to death to look for a scrote.

Then to top it off I fell in the nettles in the rough waste land twisting my ankle.

I did 30 mins overtime, just enough for the Queen meaning it was free.

Why oh why !! Office job sounds much more appealing.

Rant over - I love HRH and dont mind her having my 30 mins, just give us some more bobbies and I would love you more !!

I had to drive round the country side all day today, there were slow drivers everywhere - I got stuck behind a wagon at one point
Sigh, it'll all be worth it come payday.


Chin up woozle

We had chickens on our desks/monitors in work today...



I'm the one in the red t-shirt. Manageress keeps chickens and they hopped the fence and came in the open door and wandered around the office until someone was bothered to pick 'em up and throw them back outside!

See what you're missing from a desk job

shelly,

The vast majority of the people are hugely grateful, and appreciative of what you do for a living. Taking on loud and aggressive nettles in the dead of night for nothing takes guts and determination.

Seriously though, for all the moans about the odd plod c0cking things up the vast vast majority do a great job. And just who amongst us civvies could do some of the things you get landed with?

Camomile lotion and vodka - drink the lotion and smear the vodka all over.

ROFL nooo gotta drink the vodka what a waste ROFL ... me likes vodka.

I would rather tackle a man with a knife than go in dense nettles, bloody big girl when it comes to stuff like that, no way I am covert shouting "OUCH"

At the end of the day I am just a civvy in a flourescent uniform, 6 years in and I still dont feel like a copper. It's funny but I would love a normal job now, one where I knew when I was gonna eat and get home.

Everytime I go to court I visualise Plan B singing in the docks LOL .... ROFL


Chris - thats a funky chicken !!!!! Is that the norm for your office then, good job she aint a cow farmer in her spare time

Shell you do your job and keep your town / area a safer place and thats good, sure sometimes you get all the crap but surely it feels good when you finaly catch who ever the bad person is.

I respect police for the job they do and one day i hope to become one, looks like im gunna put it on hold for a couple of years though, due to just starting my apprenticeship, but i agree more police are needed on the streets, especially if those figures that were released are true!
