Out of FTO

So I am now out of FTO. Today was my first day on the regular shift and wow was it an experience.
I was in a control tower opening and closing doors for our roving officers who were taking care of the inmates in the pods.

My days of FTO were a pair of fun filled days as well. Last week there was a confrontation in a pod in which the whole pod was refusing to lockdown. I thought we were going to go hands on with them to force a lockdown which would have gone sour real fast. I fed our max security pod lunch without incident however when preparing to feed the high security pod I was greeted by a flow of water off the second tier balcony coming from a cell. That's right, they decided to flood their pod with toilet water. Why? Because they wanted to be fed. Nice job idiots, now you don't get fed till the water is all cleaned up. They had just finished cleaning up after someone broke a fire sprinkler off in a cell which flooded the pod too.

Now that I'm off my FTO time I should have a few more noteworthy occurances to talk about.

Day One

So today was day one of my career as a corrections officer. I was with Human Resources for most of the day during which we filled out our paperwork for insurance and life benefits. Then we went over policies for discrimination and sexual harassment.

We discussed customer service (sucktomer curvis as I call it) due to the fact that there were employees for other departments in the orientation with me. I laughed during it because they were talking about how your attitude effects people's thoughts and feelings and that a bad attitude would make someone not want to return. I saw the humor because WHO WANTS TO GO TO JAIL? I had to explain why I was laughing breifly to the instructor who didn't quite see my side of things.

During the sexual harassment portion I texted with my mother (who is a detective if you didn't already know) stating that I was getting sexual harassment training. She responded saying that after the class I should be able to sexually harass people professionally. I responded saying I didn't realize I had been doing it wrong. I must admit, I live in a family with twisted humor.



Tomorrow I get to return to the wonderful people in HR for risk management, blood born pathogens and a driving test. Wish me luck tomorrow.

I'm Back!

Ok so after a long hiatus after quitting dispatching I am now starting as a corrections officer. My first day is this Monday which will be spent with HR (yay...) followed by Tuesday with the same people. The rest of that week will be with my FTO. I am way excited. I hope you all have missed me and I'm proud to say that I'm back!
