Well I'm officially on my 2-weeks of call. I absolutely hate this part of my job. The short leash sucks, big time. They do give me a whole $25 a day for it, which is better than nothing I guess, but not by much. I just keep reminding myself it's only 2-weeks.

My 3 day weekend is over... it's not a 2 week on-call, but I'm back to work...

I guess I'm just that much closer to the edge than you are....

Man my luck has finally changed! Sunday I got called into work for some burglary stuff, whatever that's not important. Anyway, I stopped in the office and got my digital recorder, I'm like James Bond with all my hi-tech stuff you know. Well I throw the recorder in a cargo pocket on my 5.11s and head to the crime scene. Funny though, there was no cool music or hot chicks in stilettos or anything...that must only be in Miami. Anywho, I meet up with the not hot CSI chick (5.11 pants, polo shirt, ball cap and combat boots..

) and wait for her to process the scene. Again, none of that is really important. Just before I got called in the wife and I were getting ready to take our girls school clothes shopping, as luck would have it they waited for me. I rushed home, changed in to some shorts and a jeep shirt (of course), grab a gun, load everyone in the car and enjoyed a day of shopping. Ok here's where it starts getting good. Today at work I realize in my hurry to change I forgot my hi-tech digital recorder in my cargo pocket. I breath a sigh of relief because I know the wife hasn't done any laundry. When the wife gets home from work I ask if she washed my pants....she said yes....oh noooooooo! She says "I squeezed all the pockets, they were empty." I go down to the basement (complaining all the way that the money I made yesterday was going to be used to buy a new hi-tech recorder). I find my pants hanging on the line. I "squeeze" the pocket and bingo....the digital recorder is in fact in the pocket. I think "Great." (sarcassm). I pull the hi-tech recorder out and it's on! It's actually working! I can't believe it, this James Bond stuff is great. I never knew I could record under water, but I guess I can. So where I thought I was going to be out a recorder and my overtime from Sunday, turns out I'm not, so apparently my luck has changed, because normally that thing would have been toast.

I know it's nowhere near the same monetarily Jeff but my wife has washed my jump drive I use for work at least once a week this year and it keeps working. She says the same as yours............ "I squeezed all the pockets, they were empty." I would think after doing this about 30 times this year she would know to stick her hand in the right front pocket. She sure knows when she wants money its in the front left pocket.

It's hump day.....wish me luck.....

Today me and my dog were east bound on Rt 64 heading towards Sycamore. At one point I passed a Volvo that was sitting on the shoulder. A few miles later I see a Cherokee behind me, then out of nowhere that Volvo pops out from behind the Cherokee and blows by both of us....with his radar detector proudly displayed on his dash. A couple miles later I see a county mounty, going west bound, make a u-turn. I think (hope) to myslef, Volvo? The county mounty hits his lights and takes off eastbound.

Another mile or so up the road I pass the county mounty who is doing a traffic stop on......the Volvo! As I drove by I slowed down, switched lanes, and laughed as loud as I could....stupid Volvo yuppie and his radar detector.

That's justice... I love it.

A police radar detector doesn't prevent you from getting "nabbed", it just lets you know in advance that you are "nabbed" - kinda takes away the surprise factor.

I don't usually use one anymore but they have saved me plenty of times, often going off before you could possible have seen the squad car.

And hey, I guess I'm a yuppie! I'm driving a Saab right now.

(it was cheap and is plenty of fun!)

**Jeffro06** · 08-11-2010, 08:39 PM

Had fun at work today, even got a few hours OT.

**Jeffro06** · 08-15-2010, 11:07 PM

I've been sitting here the last few hours trying to decide what to do with my YJ, I finally decided......to watch some AMA road racing.
