current work-related bullshit:
a couple of months ago something was said to me that, frankly, I forgot about as soon as it was said.
in some alternate universe, perhaps, it could possibly have been percieved as a vague threat, altho it was intended, & taken by me, as a sort of feeble joke.
it was said by officer A. in the presence of officer B. & nurse C. (I can't give details, as there is an investigation ongoing. besides, they're not very interesting.)
a month or so afterwards, I recieved notice that I would have to report to our liason for the Attorney General concerning the events of such&such a night. given that the nights pretty much run together & I couldn't think of anything remotely interesting that happened during that time period, I naturally assumed that I fucked something up & didn't realize it (not an unusual occurance, altho I can usually repair the damage before anyone notices.)
it concerned the "threat".
I said, basically, I'd forgotten all about it, that I didn't think it was a serious threat, just a dumb thing said in front of the wrong people.
nonetheless, I was informed, there has to be an investigation as, in case I haven't noticed, I work in a place where there are a helluva lot of guns scattered around.
that was the last I heard of it, at least officially (we have to sign statements to the effect that anything regarding an investigation is NOT to be discussed.) altho there was, of course, a bit of discussion--mostly to the effect that officer A was probably going to lose his job & we all gotta kind of be careful about what we say to someone who might take it too seriously...
officer A. was moved to a different shift & placed in posts that didn't have guns in them.
I relieved him last night & the investigation came up.
basically, what I gleaned from the conversation was that he'd talked to officer B & nurse C. & they'd both said that they thought it was pretty shitty that he might lose his job for saying a dumb thing to the wrong person.
which, doing the math, means me.
which means that I've been fingered as the one that narced him off to A.G.'s office.
which means--for god knows how long--I've been fitted with a snitch jacket.
which means I'm going to have to have a little chat with officer B. & nurse C.
