I had a thought as I drove home from work this morning.
It allowed me to see and understand things in a differant ,and nerdy, way.
Being a correction officer, or any law enforcment, is like being a Jedi
We must allways guard our emotions lest we allow ourselves to tempted by the darkside
You know those stories on the news where some cop beats...

I was looking forward, not to today specificly. But things were just kinda looking up ya know.

Moments in time.
Life is about moments, those undifined peices of time that string together the minutes and hours of our lives.

Mine is simple, but so far has been elusive.

Zoidberg there, pretty much sum's it up.
I got so mad at work today I really felt like quitting, like i've wasted the last 5 and half years.
My supervisor's , except for one, think i'm an idiot, but what was done today was just plain stupid. I felt mine and the saftey of the other c.o's that worked that floor with me today...
