My parking enforcement days are over. Now I can experience the joy of not being hated by everyone in Grand Junction. I can have friends again! I can walk down the street with my head held high. No longer will I drive the Glorified Golf Cart of the Gods. Now I will drive a regular internal combustion engine equipped vehicle, and I can pollute like everyone else. Life is good.
I am in the midst of training for my new job. Today I responded to my first accident, in a car that goes over 25 mph. I almost got a nosebleed from the speed. I gave one poor sap a ticket for following too close. Instead of $10 for a parking violation, he got a ticket worth $112. That's 11.2 parking tickets (we don't have .2 tickets, but you know, it's a comparison thing). I got another accident call 35 minutes before it was time to go home, and after that dispatch tried to give me a third one with only 7 minutes left. After they were reminded of their error, they apologized and gave the call to someone else.
I think my new job is going to be fun. Love to everybody!

I'm glad you're liking your new job!
Did they give you the centrifuge test to ensure you can handle the speed?
