Random thoughts, occasional rants, illuminating commentary, and an odd story now and then from the world of 9-1-1 dispatching. All this and more from a gay liberal atheist living in California’s Bible belt. I recently married, so MAGA beware! I’m your worst nightmare! Some names have been omitted to protect the innocent, but the guilty will be hung out to dry!

Jim Reeves commentary government, overkill Leave a comment
I’ve been a government employee for 17 1/2 years now, and I can still be flummoxed by decisions that come down from above. Here’s the most recent mystery of upper echelons:
After two years of memos requesting a sidewalk due slippery grass in areas where she walked to get to her car, the county agreed to one of our dispatcher’s request, and a few months ago, installed one. A few weeks ago, someone fell off her spiked heels and went down. This someone wasn’t an employee, just a visitor. After a few more weeks, the sidewalk was closed, and yesterday it was removed.
I wonder what will happen if someone should fall down the stairs leading into dispatch?
