Policies, procedures, guidelines. A day full of office work and training. Health and Safety procedures, report writing procedures, notebook ethics, aggressive dog procedures – so many procedures. The day went by so very quickly though. Which is kind of nice. We did go out a couple times to visit other City buildings. Meet new people. More people who I can’t remember thier job titles. More names I can’t put a face to. More faces I can’t put a name to. No mayor today. Maybe tomorrow. Actually, we did see her driving at one point. She seemed nice.
I am very happy that the other Officer hired is as green as me. It makes it so much easier to talk to each other about things we don’t understand or to have the ability to talk about feeling overwhelmed and mentally exhausted. He is currently my immediate ‘work’ support system. If he were a more senior Officer it wouldn’t be as comfortable as it is. Obviously I can and do call and talk to Nicole about work, but Officer P is in the same position in which he can quickly and easily relate. We are getting along nicely. We went out at lunch together today. He has also been driving me home after work. Its a short walk to my accommodations, but it’s nice to have a ride after a long day. Speaking of walking, I haven’t gotten lost yet. That’s a plus.
We didn’t get out on any calls today as we were more focused on the office work and training. Some calls came in today that we need to/get to work on tomorrow. A couple dog related calls. A couple parking calls. I am excited for those. I think we will also be touring the North side of the City tomorrow. A different demographic than what we have witnessed so far. Should be interesting.
That’s about it from today.
I have to apologize if the last couple posts aren’t as entertaining as usual. I blame it on my tired and exhausted brain. And for the lack of pictures. I will try to write throughout the day from now on as I am more fresh and “entertaining”. Hopefully it will be a bit more ‘fun’.
Moral…. Hm. A moral. This seems to be a thing I am doing with every post so I can’t not do one for this posting. How about, “it is important to keep your eyes open when doing mundane office work and training”?
Cheers.
