The Lost Hour

Posting early so we can head to bed.

Did you remember to set your clocks ahead?

Did you remember to swipe in to work today? We haven't gotten hold of the actual order yet. Is it swipe IN only? Or OUT also? Is it for Automated A&A's? Or is it something else?

We know there is just not enough coverage about the Dan Ryan closures. Therefore, we decided to post additional info here just for you:

MARTHA STEWART: films one of her cooking shows on the closed down Dan Ryan - "How to prepare Bukkake ala King in 4 EZ steps"

Dr. Phil: SCC gets counseled by the doc on "I was completely traumized by the closing of the Dan Ryan and need to cope"

Jerry Springer: Paternity tests EXPOSED! "I conceived my baby on the Dan Ryan and need to find out who my babies father daddy is" See them duke it out! Go Steve!

SGT HITNEY: Appears on the cover of Cosmo w/backdrop of the Dan Ryan "How I get this fantastic hairstyle and 5 tips on how it doesn't get messed up while kicking a$$"

CRIMEFILE: Comes back home bringing his big name friends from LA to sing in his new Musical "I love Daley"

GOV BLAGO: Who is Dan Ryan?

(a certain) ALDERMAN : "I don't want to cause dissension amongst drivers with the closing of the Dan Ryan."

and finally...

AREA 2 GUN TEAM: pose for a calendar on the Dan Ryan and make so much money, they retire early.

The reason they are not making us swipe at the end is because of the "one half hour lunch." If we swipe at the half hour, then it proves we deserve the pay for that "lunch."

SWIPING!!! Another great idea from some empty holster with a civilian mentality. Works great when you are 9-5 M-F downtown 5 days a week. It kinda sucks for the working police on that 6 day work week + court + side job. This is just another reason NOT to work Tact or Gangs. Good Job Headquarters

It's good to make sergeant, the money is better and ¾ of an hour a day is an extra $30+ a day. If its such a shit job, why do so many people apply for it?

Because you can't be a LIEUTENANT until you're a sergeant.

I wish everyone good luck and hope they make more sergeants and lieutenants soon. More seniority for me.

The .75 hours a day is needed to correct all the fucking mistakes, mispelled words, wrong UCR's, and calls for a Sgt. on the simplest calls - that you need a Sgt. for...Your the police, make a decision, handle your calls, and be safe you dog ass!!
Plus, to review the report you did at 4:00pm that you now want to turn in at check-off and bolt out the door...did you ever hear the phrase...I'm collecting paper...?? Should be getting an hour a day....

As a Det I have to say you're full of shit with your hard work nonsense. I get more shit paper than than a "Johnny-on-Spot" at a chili cook-off. Any Sgt will tell you that they just push the paper through. How's that for dog-ass? "Let someone else fix the problem." Save your noble hardworking supervisor bullshit for the female PPO's.

My question is, if we're salaried employees, and not hourly employees, why should we have to swipe a timeclock in the first place. Is it to verify we're actually at work? That's what Rollcall and Sgt. logs are for. Or is this the first steps toward making us hourly? Things that make you go "Hmmmmmmm?"

I'm outta here within the year. My heart goes out to you guys that don't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Cuz it looks like its only gonna get worse before it gets better.

LMAO with red pencil in hand.

How sanctimonious of you to challenge the spelling of 4:47.

"mispelled"(sic) has a double "S", professor.

Both of you MISSPELLED the word.

I do agree that "your" and "you're" are the most common spelling mistakes on this blog, invariably from "anonymous" posters.

Second most common error: "to" instead of "too".

Why is it that during mandatory blogger registration, correct spelling improved exponentially?

Are "anonymous" posters just plain stupid?

The D-Division is so under manpowered that you can’t say that the OT budget is high. Actually, the patrol division is too. We are so short on P/Os and Dicks citywide. Show me your numbers… Anyone of us can see that the sworn-officer’s manpower numbers are low. I just can’t agree that the smaller numbers in personnel are working more OT hours that exceed the OT that was made back several years ago when manpower was high and OT was easier to do.

To the sgt. blasting the P.O.
I don't want to hear anything from YOU about correcting G.O.C.R.'s because you're probably the same asshole that just shoots everything through because the "Dicks" will correct it.

You're probably also the same type of Sgt. that tells the P.O.'s when they have a question on a heading about a case report, "Call the Dicks, they'll tell you what to make it"

WRONG SARGO! YOU are the supervisor and in in charge of the preliminary investigation. We handle the investigation AFTER the preliminary investigation. So start earning your extra $$ and time and do it yourself.

Bitching about who gets to come late, leave early, what units do this, tact/gangs do that, Sgt's are this, Det's do that... Some of you need to pull the tampon out! I'll bet the Chief of Patrol, Sup't and the mayor read this and laugh their respective balls off! We cant get along with each other, dissention amongst the ranks for a multitude of reasons. OK, I'll admit that we all agree about the bullshit about asswipe hampton, and that adler-what-ever. Think we can take it a step or two further, and agree about other issues? (Hmmm, maby swiping in?) Are there ways WE can get around this? Or are we just going to bitch about it, each other, other units, ranks and so on?

And an open question to the mastermind behind this one: Whats a matter, no one ever gave you a "play"? Never the old "gun-n-gone"? Forget what your blue shirt feels like? What a way to improve morale around here!

Looks like swiping is here to stay.
I personally believe that Ron Hubberman is behind this. It makes no sense to have us swipe in, not out, and have someone doing the A@A's.
I hear that thumb printing is next in the near future.
Any perk you can give a copper for doing a good job is disappearing fast. Talk about a morale booster.
How many times you work say up to an hr overtime, and you get taken care of the next day w/ an early duck? Well not no more.
Thanks to the Ivory Tower asshole(s) they have done more damage to any bit of morale that was left, that it DOES NOT PAY TO DO ANY FUCKING THING. DON'T EVEN GET THE FUCK OUTTA THE CAR. "HEAR YOU ARE, YOUR RD#, CALL THE NUMBER THERE FOR MORE INFO. CAPS WILL TAKE CARE OF THAT. WE CAN'T TOUCH PEOPLE ANYMORE, JUST CALL BACK. GOTTA GO NOW WE HAVE TO SWIPE OUT."

This Sgt. in question seems to work AFTERNOONS, wunderkind- they were obviously trying to say that it's inconsiderate of a copper who starts at 3 pm (3rd WATCH) and scribbles out a report at 4 pm, not to have the courtesy to drop the damn thing off to the white shirt in the 6+ hours that pass until check-off... duh!

Sorry, but with reading comprehension abilities like that you must have failed part one of last week's test (better luck next time!) But you've got the judgemental, hypercritical, anal-retentive know-it-all thang down-pat! Enjoy the rest of your career! (the general public and your fellow co-workers sure won't!)

Basically, we have to swipe in only. Civilian employees must swipe in and out. I believe the reason everyone is swiping is so the powers that be KNOW that someone is actually at work. That way when the beef comes in that someone is double-dipping (working their security gig while on the city's dime), they can indict you.
