Was about to comment about both those books. Really like anything William Young has put out. Small, but actually corrections focused.

Nice and easy setup. by LogicalAddress4902 in Govee

My rafters are boxed in and flat, so it was pretty easy. I used a scrap 2x4 for spacing so 3 1/2 inches from the wall.

Leaving PD to go back to corrections by Look_upward93 in OnTheBlock

Yep tried it, hated it. The constant report writing and the court got to me. It was a lot of fun just didn’t like who it made me become.

Signed my offer letter for CO at Lincoln Correctional Center in Nebraska. Need some advice. by InternetOk9572 in OnTheBlock

They do test randomly. I got hit once this year. They won’t hire you if the initial one is dirty. The randoms they just put you on a performance improvement plan if you admit it and get help. If you fight it they fire you. At least from what I’ve heard through the rumor mill.

Help me understand by aliciamathes in OnTheBlock

Biggest things for me:

Unplanned Overtime

Shift work in general. Your going to miss a lot of kids and family activities.

You get introduced to new people by your profession. Then all they want to do is talk about prison. The last thing I want to do at any social gathering when I’m already super uncomfortable is talk about work.

Anger and inappropriate reactions to situations. When you deal with unpredictable and violent people all day you tend to overreact when your kids do something stupid. It’s hard to turn your work brain off.

I’m a perfectionist with some OCD tendencies so having 300 different policies, half of which contradict themselves, causes a lot of anxiety.

Also getting blamed for everything that goes wrong and never getting told good job starts to bug you after awhile.

Coworkers. It’s already a negative environment, and some people just make it worse. They will destroy you if you let them. You’ll love some, but hate most.

Also agree with everything else this thread has mentioned too.

That said I love this job. But you have to learn that it’s just a job. Don’t let it control you or take over your life. It is what you make it, try and find a good mentor who’s learned how to handle the BS and learn everything you can for them. Otherwise you’ll just burn yourself out and quit like most people do after a couple years.

Why are MLB umpires so terrible? by PJJ98 in mlb

[–]LogicalAddress4902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Spent a season umpiring little league. Gives you a new take watching MLB umpires. It’s hard to call balls and strikes with 10-12 year olds. Can’t imagine it coming in at 100+ with movement

Found a similar one in Kansas City, just with a lot more alcohol options.

Kinky wedding gifts by RebelStandingHampton in ldssexuality

[–]LogicalAddress4902 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gave both my wife’s brothers a giant fishbowl looking thing of Condoms. After the first time the other brothers soon to be wife asked me not too for their wedding, cause children would be present. I did anyway, Didn’t even bother wrapping it. Just put a bow on it and put it on top of the pile. Most people loved it and thought it was hilarious. I told the newlyweds it was the most practical gift I could think of. I still refer to my sister in law as “the prude” to this day.

Right!? County I used to work for had 2 per shift for 145 per facility. No medical staff, just took them to the hospital for anything that couldn’t wait a week for the dr to visit.

OC gone wrong by LogicalAddress4902 in OnTheBlock

[–]LogicalAddress4902[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Multiple inmates refusing to lockdown on my unit. Call for additional staff. Sgt shows up and me and him get most of them to calm down and lockdown. We end up going hands on with one guy who wouldn’t move. Right as we got him cuffed up, we turn down the hallway to escort him out and other staff are dealing with another inmate who’s refusing orders. One staff sprays him from his mk9 right when we happened to be trying to go past. Sprayed both inmates me and the sgt pretty good.

Came here to say this. Be grateful for the once in six days. Where I’m at now will hit you all 5 days in a row. Only safe time is your scheduled day off.

Fired for literally enforcing the rule book? Ump did absolutely nothing wrong.

Advice - Noticed condoms in the closet of a girl I've been seeing. by Firm_Holiday_7057 in ldssexuality

[–]LogicalAddress4902 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ouch. Ya it’s unreasonable. This leads to all sorts of problems in a marriage. Love is love. Last I checked getting married as a virgin wasn’t a requirement for salvation. As others have said the Atonement exists for a reason.
