I'm technically at work, of you call staring at a screen, glassy-eyed, and popping Halls Mentholyptus three-at-a-time.

BUT, stoopid court system scheduled a court case for me today and "because of the recent holidays and upcoming holidays, this court case cannot be rescheduled."

Now I have to shave, iron a uniform and change my attitude. Dang criminals.

gotta love retirement..

I'm off until Jan 5....took a few weeks to welcome the new addition, but instead of welcoming new addition, I decided to just keep posting in Cbid, more fun.

Trying to maintain at work.

This time, I'd get suspended for 3 days. Our policy states that if we miss court four times in an 18-month period, it's automatic termination. (But, IMNSHO, some people get away with a lot more around the department than they should..........)

Anyways, I was about 5 minutes late to court a couple months back..... missed one case but was in time for the other 16.... and I got in trouble. First offense I could either forfeit 9 hours of PTO or get a day suspension. Forfeiting 9 hours of PTO is like working a day for free, which I wasn't about to do. So I took the suspension. We work 4 days on, 2 days off. My Lieutenant (a great guy, BTW) was kind enough to give me my suspension day on my 4th day of work, so I ended up having 3 days off in a row!!! I went and played golf, drank, and smoked cigars on my "suspension day." Not much of a punishment, if you ask me!

Anyways, as much as I'd LOVE to have 3 more days off this holiday season, I need the $$$. Crappy thing is I just have one case today, but the docket is slam full. My trial won't last 2 minutes (literally.... just a public drunk charge) but I've gotta sit through all the others. Gonna rack up some overtime today!
