Ok, thought about how unhappy i am in my current situation at my station so I put in for a transfer. My Chief wanted to know what happened to make me want to leave that station so i told him and he was very unhappy that i am being treated the way i am. I am not a crybaby nor do i enjoy tension. I absolutely hate conflict and will not tolerated being disrespected by anyone so long story short i hope to be transfered soon.
Hope everyone out there is having a less dramatic day.

Hello all,

I am not sure if you saw my new topic i posted but yesterday was exactly what I was talking about in the posting. Smart assed, know it all rookies. I wanted to punch this guy in the mouth. Absolutely no respect unless you are on of his drinking buddies. I have no respect for this guy because he is like a remora on his training officers ass at all times, on and off the job.

Back from Chicago. Wow, we had a blast. Went to the Cubs game and it was a shut out. Enjoyed the Sadium Club 'cause man it was cold in the stands. We had great seats behind home plate 6 rows up. I love going to Chicago but it is good to be home again.

Today is the Cubs game and i am all fired-up. We went to Harry Caray's last night for dinner and it was fantastic. I hung out yesterday afternoon with the 'fellas at Truck 3 Engine 42 Squad 1. I always have a great time while here in Chicago. We are going to Howl at the Moon tonight mainly because it is right across the street from the Marriott.
Take care all.

Hello all I am back in Chicago. Whoohoo. Going to a Cubs game on Thursday (Club seats) so you know I am going to get my eat and drink on. I will have one a cold one for you all.
Stay safe out there.
