I could almost like her from the neck down... It's just that whenever she opens her mouth...it kinda ruins the mood.

Very nice quote...I think I'm the latter...

hmmm... i think i may actually be both- cheerful by nature and by work, love, art and knowledge.
what does that make me?


damn am i too cheery??

I take it was a close game? I'm not too versed in football, but have found in most sports..good games are close games...unlike the gator bowl where Maryland fucked West Virginia up! (I'm originally from WVa and called my Mommy to rub it in She was not amused!...
I'm interested...what would you like to study? What have you studied before? I'm so nosey!

I really don't watch sports much...even thou I do occasionally like to participate (hands on) I like hands on:
I went back one in your journal because Site peeked my interest...It must be hard working with people who feel they're lives can't get any better... when you're there to help them get on the right track. Keep strong

No, we can't arrest people. I'm a correctional officer at the county jail. I'm not a police officer and the two departments are separate entities. Correctional officers don't have police powers, at least not in the county I work in.

I'm sure some people do get something positive out of it, but sadly a large portion of the inmates are repeat offenders. The focus of our facility isn't rehabilitation because it's a pretrial facility (around 500 total people, but as many as 800). We only have a handful of inmates that have been sentenced, so we focus more on short term programs.

and yea, we do wear uniforms. The standard issue ones are a kind of cross between a police officer and a mailman uniform. If you are on the Special Operations team you get Navy blue BDU uniforms like they wear in the military. The BDU uniform looks much cooler.

I never really thought I would be doing a job like this, but I enjoy it most of the time. Not sure if it's something I want to do forever though.

You saved that guy's life... and hopefully he'll reach a point where he appreciates it. Maybe, he'll re-think things... It sounds like your work can be rather "heavy" sometimes. Is it a pretty violent environment or are most of the inmates pretty easy to handle?
Out of curiosity...if you weren't at the detention center, what else could you picture yourself doing ?(besides being a rich European.)

How was your New Year! I was a little hung over today...did nothing all day and don't feel a bit guilty about it!

hehe effigy. Sounds like you are having a good time though, so I guess that can qualify as a party-- sorta.

sorta...I'm drunk...that's good! I'm streaming music too...that's good! Somehow...it still seems sad!

have Fun, Happy New years... HUGS

wahoo! I'm drunk and typing...a dangerous mix! Stay safe! Happy new year!

sweet dreams!

We've been pretty soggy this year for sure! I'm hoping our snow levels are low. Don't mean to be an anti-snow Grinch, but people don't handle inclement weather well around here.
It was lovely outside today. We could even open the front door to my store without fear of it getting too cold inside. Nice days like today make me fear for what may be to come! (Call me paranoid.)

Will be on the sidelines. taking pictures for the web site. We better win.

I'll say..I got a little to much christmas cheer in me...I think I woke up feeling more drunk then when I went to sleep.
So I had myself hazelnut coffee...ummm
Now I need to find somethen good to eat.....other then turkey.
How did your Christmas day go over for you?

Vanilla coffee mmmm.
And thanks for the cute journal entry. A smile with no teeth would be cool.
