Caution: Life Ahead
Hey Everyone,
How are you doing today? I have been doing alright, and just trying to live life to the fullest each day as the best as I can do. I am writing this from a new program that I downloaded to see if it works, so hopefully it will all go well and I won’t have to re-write this, because I probably would forget some of it, and add into other spots that don’t need added. That was the problem when I would write in high school, is the first was always good content wise; but when I would edit it for grammar, I would always add more to the story that wasn’t really needed in the first place. Look, I am rambling now, because that isn’t anything to do with what is going on now.
Everything is going good with work right now. I have had my up and down days which one of them I will sit here and complain about because that is what this is for somewhat, to get things off your chest. For those of you that don’t know, I work at Pendleton Correctional Facility as a custody officer; which is a good job just has its own ups and downs. Well, I have been there for about 4 months; maybe a little bit over, and I have recently got my permanent position that I have been waiting for. I am now the Kitchen Officer at the correctional facility. I know, and everyone there thinks the same thing, why in the hell would I want to work in the kitchen? Well, it isn’t for any reason that most people would think of. The officer before me liked it somewhat because he could eat as much food as he wanted, but I am total opposite. I like it because it caters to my ADHD perfectly well. I am one of those individuals that likes busy work or work that keeps you going and makes the day go by fast. That job you always have something to do and is almost never get to sit down. I like it that way except when I get a little bit hungry and I end up not being able to eat, which isn’t every healthy. So, now that I have raved about my position/post a little bit, let me tell you about my last day that I worked, Sunday! It started out as a good day, and everything was going smoothly as I have been getting the post set up to where I know what is going on and it is preplanned through the day pretty much. As I was checking in the utensils for the Lunch Feed, I noticed that I didn’t have a utensil that was checked out at lunch. I had searched all my paperwork, and I didn’t have it checked out to anyone else. There had been a utensil that went missing previously in the week, so I went to the head of Aramark to see if she wanted to stop feed or just hope that it showed up. She asked me to stop feed and that we would search for it before the next feed started. As we searched, we couldn’t find the utensil anywhere, but we started finding all kinds of food and items hidden in jackets and anywhere else in the kitchen. I ended up calling everywhere that I had checked out utensils to that day, and somehow it ended up at a different location outside of the Kitchen, even though it wasn’t checked out to them. Since that was solved, we worked towards finding out who all had the food and items that were stolen in the kitchen. As we sorted everything out, we ended up loosing 7 people that day to theft. It was a hard day starting then because we were short people in general from there, and I still had the paperwork to do from that. Then we had another offender that ended up trying to attack me and an Aramark individual when asked to leave because he refused to work. I had to call the Yard in to get him out of there, which even added to more of my stress and more paperwork. I ended up finishing my shift the best I could, and when the other officer got there, I called the Shift Supervisor and informed that I would probably be here past my shift as I had some paperwork to finish from the missing utensil and the items found in the kitchen. I was told to get them done as fast as possible and to get out of there. I worked on them the best I could, and I ended up getting them done at 7:00pm which I am suppose to be gone at 6:00pm. I turned the reports to the evening supervisor which I ended up getting chewed out because I stayed behind and did my job to the best of my ability. He told me that I better not ask for over time; which I wasn’t worried about anyways, and that I was not to do this again. I handed him the reports, and left in anger. I ended up coming home and was pissed off the rest of the night. I drank the night away with Bacardi 151 and just ended up making it up to the bedroom and passed out after I ended up getting sick. So, that is the end of my day, and that was one of the worst days that I have had in a long time. I will write about more later, but that is where I am at now! Hope you all have a good weekend!
