We call them "Day Walkers" here.
UGH! I got 11 hours of sleep today but I just want more sleep. I think I'm dehydrated but water is SO unappealing right now. In about 3 minutes I start my rounds.
SSP has informed me that he wants me doing 10 calls for service every other hour. That means 40 calls for service PER DAY. BUT he says I can dork around on the internet doing whatever during the other 4 hours of my shift. So I have that going for me.
He also wants me to get my extra educational courses done and finish the stupid book report. Once I do that, I should gear up for a bang-up evaluation and a good evaluation means a good letter of recommendation to wherever I want to go next. I'll get a letter from SPSO Tate-Ritchie, one from Sergeant Wiland(SSP), AND one from the Lieutenant.
I've also filled out an "Interest Form" to become a police cadet with UTPD-Austin. I'm nervous but I hope they get back to me with and opening soon.
*dances*
ETA: Oh and I cut my hair again yesterday (Thursday).0 -
got about 3 hours of sleep during the day....I think the fatigue is finally starting to kick in. but im on 4 hours OT, so hopefully that makes up for it. been a rough week, and getting back to work brings a feeling of "normalcy"0

Hey Nighshifters, I have a question about my news feed. When I complete my diary or exercise it never shows up on my newsfeed. I guess if you complete it after midnight it won't show up. Well, my "day" runs from 4 pm one day until 8 am the next day so of course I always complete mine after midnight and exercise after midnight. For instance, I start recording Saturday at 4pm and stop at Sunday 8am. I record all this under Saturday. I tried changing my time zone but since I'm west coast there really isn't a time zone that would make it work. Has anyone figured a way around this? Am I missing something?0

I just changed the names of things and put them all under a 24 hours time period on the same day. If you want the feed to show up you have to check that you want it to be public.0 -

I put all my food on the same day too. The problem I was having was that it wasn't posting on my newsfeed even though the proper boxes are checked to make it public. The reason is if you complete the diary after midnight it won't post. Anyway, the only work around I can find to fix it is filling out my diary one day in the future.0 -

If you know the reason, why did you ask?
Also, I have no problem with my diary completion showing up on my news feed when I complete it after midnight.
More often than not, I end up deleting it with the little 'x' in the upper right hand corner, but it always show up in my news feed.0 -
Night 4 of 5 WOOT woOT!!!

I found out the answer somewhere else after I asked.0 -
Work day 2 or 4 but today is just an 8 hours OT so I did it to myself. I'm a glutton from punishment I guess. And I need the moolah.0
-
14 hours to go! I'm dying. I still need to take something out of a dogs intestines. The referring vet thought it was a bone but it's not showing up on X-Rays. Guess I'll know in about 2 hours.0
-
So sleepy. Only gotta make it to 6am. Working 12 hr swings suck. I was told 15yrs ago I "would get used to it" Ha. It's not bad until the overtime days start adding up. Come on April. Vacation time0

I hate having to choose between one I know I can save and one I think I can save but I can't save both. I feel bad for the owners.0

IRS took my tax return for an outstanding balance. My ex-husband is an idiot. I'm never getting married again, filing taxes jointly with someone again, or probably ever living with anyone again. This is a giant catastrophe of epic proportions.
He TOLD me he had taken CARE of this. I'm pissed.
ETA: I've lost 1.4 pounds..so I have THAT going for me which is nice.
Knowing my luck this week, it's probably just water weight that will be back tomorrow....0 -
Just don't eat potato chips tonight.
Too much salt and you will retain fluids. 0 -

Last night I was really hungry and I ate a packet of ham cause idk over tired or something. I retained 2lbs of water and felt bloated all day today. Blah. Horrible feeling. At least I'm mostly back to feeling like myself again0 -
Gotta love when the dog you just saved continues to do well. 0

I do not wanna go to this meeting in 3 hours.
Someone dented the Kubota (Not a tractor, it's like a diesel 4 wheeling golf cart...sorta) that we drive around in for some patrols, and I'M the 'bad guy' because I reported it and no one has any idea where the damage came from. People wanna throw other people under the bus and I'm just over here like "How about when we hit things, we just tell somebody that we hit something, make the incident report, and move on?"
No one gets in trouble for breaking something and reporting it. You get in trouble when you break something and then you DON'T report it.
So, now I'm getting sh-t from all angles at work. Supervisors asking me questions, other coworkers not saying a darn thing other than "maybe she did it and is trying to cover it up," and I KNOW it's going to be brought up at the meeting. Someone bent one of the handles on one of the Kubota's not too long ago. And the same thing happened. When it was finally reported and then questions were asked, no one said anything. INTEGRITY is in our freaking motto!
I feel like it's only been a year and I'm losing faith and trust in all of my coworkers and here's the shocker, it has nothing to do with SSP. He and Jeanette(magic thyroid pill/migraine chick) are the only ones who seem to have my back in ANY way/shape/form telling me that all I can do is hold to MY integrity and hope for the best and that no matter what, I won't get fired over this. They tell me that what my coworkers think doesn't matter. To not let anyone blame me for this. To continue to improve my skills and performance and when I do something wrong, report it, and demonstrate my own integrity.
It just sucks that now I feel even more like I can't trust or rely on my coworkers for anything.0 -
How can you not know who did it with all the cameras that are around there? It would seem whoever was driving it prior to you reporting it is likely either not saying anything because they didn't report what they should have or they did it.0
-
I hate shady, brown nosing mofos at work. It makes working a million times harder, especially in professions where integrity is absolutely everything. I'm aggravated about work too but it's petty stuff. Our boss is concerned about crap that doesn't matter.
I'm just gonna focus on the fact that I don't have to work tomorrow. And all the OT I've worked will pay off next week.
And THANK GOD I work night shift. I'd probably lose my *kitten* if I worked days with the supervisor.

I'm off for the night. Hope all my peeps are doing well tonight and I'll see all y'all on Thursday! 0

One of the best parts of working nights is not having to deal with all the "chiefs" running around during the day! It is kinda funny watching some of the guys jump when they see me though because I'm the new sheriff...lol. If only they knew that I can screw off better than any of them! :-P0

Hey Nocs! Glad to find this thread! I really struggle trying to to fit healthy living into the nightshift. Although admittedly, it's pretty satisfying when my fitbit clocks 10,000 steps at 4am, lol. Hope everyone has a great shift tonight! Anyone who needs overnight encouragement, please feel free to add me!0

Nocs? I like that! Welcome!0
