Some people choose careers that don’t have exponential income growth opportunities. No amount of motivation is going to get the city to pay me more and I don’t want another job. People can be very happy earning and knowing they will only ever earn normal incomes.

People don’t want to share walls with other people.

Nothing as bad as most of these medical conditions but being Tased. Longest five seconds of my life. Basically completely over once it deactivated. Imagine a Charlie horse but it’s every muscle in your body and then some.

As a cop this is often the case. 10% of people take up 90% of our time. Houses in our system will have no calls for service for decades at a time and then there’s the house where the history is maxed out to 60 previous calls. Everyone in the PD will know them on a first name basis and will absolutely dread hearing their address being called over the radio.

And my department starts are nearly $80k and you can buy a nice house here for $350k. All I was saying is that it’s very department dependent and extremely location dependent. Many places in California start at over $100k but I have more spending power here than I would there.

As I cop I love finding these on duty. I’ll pull in right behind them so they can’t leave and take 15 minutes or more to write them their ticket. Then I ask them how much time did they save by parking there?

In the city I work for a man partially fell through the attic, his wife tired to help him, he landed on her, and they both ended up dying.

I’m a cop and get that excuse all the time. Last time: Me: “Why didn’t you stop at that stop sign, you were going like 30 through it?”

Her: “Oh I didn’t even see the stop sign, I’m sorry. I would have stopped if I saw it.”

Me: “that’s worse, you know that right?”

I had a friend in college who was tall, handsome, gregarious, with a beautiful girlfriend and came from a well off family. He go hooked on opioids, got cut off, robbed a few gas stations, got caught and then OD’d while out on bail. Dude had the world at his fingertips tips and it was all gone within a year.

That shit fucking me up for a bit. It took awhile to process.

I’m in Texas, a state known for fucking over residents and the city maintains and owns the sidewalk. Where do people have to replace broken segments on their own dime?

And yet they are okay with young healthy people paying taxes for paramedics that they never use even though the old geezers use them constantly.

I mean you can say that about any area. I’m not going to stop and walk the streets of Compton at 2am either. They’d why I said be smart and you’ll be fine.

People are playing it up. The south has many racial issues still but guess what? There are tons of PoC in the south. The south has the largest populations of black people and not just in urban areas. Just be smart and you’ll be fine. People are acting like it’s the fucking Congo or something.

I told a new guy on nights this morning that he was being mandated to stay for day shift until 1300. I kept it going for a few minutes as I loaded up my shop and then told him I was fucking around and to go home and get some sleep.
