Starting the day off on a different note. Joy Division is here, if you care:

Novelty

When people listen to you don't you know it means a lot,
'Cos you've got to work so hard for everything you've got.
Can't rest on your laurels now,
Not when you've got none.
You'll find yourself in a gutter,
Right back where you came from.

Someone told me being in the know is the main thing.
We all need the security that belonging brings.
Can't stand on your own in these times,
Against all the odds,
You all just fall behind like all the other sods.

You slap our backs and pretend you knew about,
All the things that we were gonna do.
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do,
When it's over?
You're on your own now,
Don't you think that's a shame?
But you're the only one responsible to take the blame.
So what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?
Yeah, what ya gonna do when the novelty has gone?

You slap our backs,
And pretend you knew about,
All the things we were gonna do.
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do
When its over?

Last night was pretty fucked up. At work, around 1030pm, we got the call for a police car chase in Brisol, PA (north of Philly). We engaged the pursuit, taking up a position behind the police helicopter. Not only was this SUV driving at speeds of 100 +, trying to dodge police cars, etc., we had to deal with a nasty fog coming in and a few close calls with Chopper 10 and the police chopper. Fucking edgy shit. The guy was weaving in and out of traffic, getting off and on I-95, swinging through residential areas, etc. He finally caught a pole near 413 and 13, throwing the truck into a nasty little spin. No one was hurt, and they caught the guy.

So, management is stoked beyond belief. They're praising me and the pilot, having little orgasms and such. Everyone is cheering, congratulating, etc. All I can think about is the fact that although I do a supposedly excellent job, Im still being suspended for a week.

Revenge is a dish best served cold...
