    Job to make life easier

    Hmm, just thinking, I need a job where: I don't have to lie in a ditch wondering where the mad gunman is (while I can't see my own gunsight in the dark), where I don't have to chase drunken twats at high speed, where I don't have to sort out the personal lives of those that can't, where I don't have to issue a requisite amount of tickets, where I only work dayshifts, where I don't have to seperate a bunch of loud mouth 'jersey-pulling' drunk yobbos, where I don't have to face two car loads of youths bent on mayhem, where I can get to my tea less than six hours after it's due, where I don't have to look into crashed cars to see if any bodies are in them and NEVER, never get put 'on call'.....(That was just the highlights of this weekend).

    And still get the same pay.

    Oh that's right, I forgot, I just write out tickets for innocent motorists who NEVER speed etc...neh, silly old me!!

    Rant over, I still love the job!!

    Did once but feared the excitement would kill me!!

    BTW And a drunken idiot in out town was doing skids'n'donuts in a light truck, lost it and ploughed into out local library and moved a shit-load of wall,books and bricks this weekend.
    Could not quite explain how it 'went wrong' when he sobered and I bailed him.

    Does a CS pay as good as the police?

    And will I still get the same adrenaline buzz?? (and pain?)

    Impromptu is the word I think you're looking for!!!

    Hell, I can afford the gas - but it's only a mile to work so I walk it most of the time.

    Not worth putting the leathers on 'cos I'd be at work walking in the same time!!

    My mates just doing the training at the moment, hes had the prob of going from a job in IT (good pay) to being a cadet (shite pay). In the run up I remember he was saving as hard as he could to pay off any debts so he wouldnt have them when he took the pay cut.

    He's just done 60 hours work experience with his station and is now on holiday for a week before heading back down to Porirua to finish the training. From some of the stories he's been telling us, it sounds pretty full on. Dont envy him at all (or any of the cops - its not a job for me) but he's loving it so far. Dirty job, but someones got to do it . . .

    So chin up mate, some of us realise you are doing a hard job without a huge amount of recognition!

    Become an Ambo - then at least you have two less things to do: no writing tickets and no trying to find your gunsight in the dark (lying in the ditch is still a possibility tho). And we'll substitute picking up the pieces of drunken twats instead of chasing them. Sometimes it gets to you, eh!

    it actually sounds like fun.. but then I'm distorted like that.. least you're not stuck in an office all the time

    I heard about a friend of a friend who's been in the force for about 6 months now, and he's in undercover stuff which I can only describe as 'movie' style stories coming back.. I know it's far from Hollywood, but it's hardly the 'run of the mill' day jobs.. Not for the faint hearted, that's for sure!

    You could be a drug runner like in the movies but ya going to have to get something that actualy goes fast.
