Just a reminder folks – the Westminster Dog Show is on Monday night on USA and CNBC. I’m really looking forward to it!
Highlights
Just racked up another extremely busy night at 911. If there is a quota on stupid calls, I’d say we’ve reached ours for the entire month. I dread tomorrow’s 12 hr day – the last three have just been nuts and tomorrow probably won’t be any different.
I spent 40 minutes on the phone with a crying teenager who was upset her boyfriend broke up with her. Her grandmother had reported her missing so I had to stay on the line with her until the deputies could catch up with her. She told me not to send her any “angry” deputies who would yell at her. By the time the 40 minutes were up, I wanted to yell at her. Her name was Keira…
Then I had an older woman call who wanted a deputy to come over just to chat. She had no problems save loneliness and asked that I send over a nice deputy. She said she’d bake brownies. I did send over a deputy who chatted with her some so that was nice.
We had a lot of drunk drivers, a home invasion, a lady complaining about teenagers dancing, a complaint of a semi with a silver trailer (about 98.9% of trailers are silver) driving erratically somewhere on I75, etc.
I had a young man who was upset because his mom kept letting loose his dog in hopes that it wouldn’t come back. He loved the dog and it was really a crappy thing for her to do.
Had a few lost people who called 911 for directions…yes, 911. Had one guy call 911 because someone told him there might be someone else whom he didn’t know angry at him for some perceived problem with a bicycle he didn’t own…I sent a unit – let them straighten it out.
Anyway, I’m home now and the house is looking somewhat better. I have to work 12 hrs tomorrow and then have 3 days off. I hope to get a lot accomplished. Guess we shall see.
