At The Office

Well, things are kind of tight right now. Seems as though certain people have already put it in for those that did not support longshanks in the primary. No, it won't get better.

Ddg reminds you to document, document, and document!!!

Alway to Remember, Never to Forget September 11, 2001

A day when the nasty world appeared in several places and real heroes stood up without fear.

Take a moment and remember those who gave their lives while just "doing their jobs."

Fighting terrorists with cops and firefighters is a losing situation, which makes their valor even more outstanding.

Take a moment with Ddg today and be thankful for those that have stood on the line, are standing on the line, and will stand on the line, because it is not a job, it is a calling. Those that do it deserve the best leadership available. That is not the case at the Laramie County Sheriff's Department.

Problems, There Are Not Any Problems

So what is with the latest buzz at the office? longshanks trying to figure out where the problems are?

Seems as though a competent sheriff who had been in office for eight years would have figured it out before now. But maybe later is better than never. Yeah, right!

Let's see, i'm in the hallway, walking to my office on a day that i choose to grace the department with my presence. Oh look, an employee that i did not promote and whose nose is not up my backside. Might i ask him how he's doing, maybe even what can i do to make his job easier? Nah, that would be too easy, kind of like me doing what i am being paid and supposed to do.  i will continue to walk down the hallway, only acknowledging those that i wish to. After all, i am their great leader. They must respect me. i will look in the mirror every morning and tell myself that all is well, i am in charge, i have their respect, i am an honorable person................

Ddg reminds longshanks that real respect is freely given and earned. The enforced respect is worth nothing, but then again when that's all you've got................................

Protect Yourself, Join FOP

If you are not a member of the Wyoming Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #7, the local lodge, you should be. As long as you are a sworn member of a department in Southeast Wyoming, you are eligible.

By being a member, you can pay for and receive legal representation for anything that happens that is job related, be it civil, criminal, or administrative. Too bad you have to plan ahead that not only the bad guys are out there trying to do you, but that your own department (ala glick) will throw you over the side. Of course it depends on who you are as to what will happen or not happen to you. Unfortunately that is the way that it is. Just think what you would have to lay down for a lawyer in cash to start with payments to follow to represent you. Makes no sense to knuckle under just because you cannot afford legal protection when you need it, especially when you know that you are in the right.

It makes the cost of several hundred dollars a year (probably less than your car insurance) a really good deal. You know that if you did not back longshanks in the primary that they will be looking at you. Can't refute that, can you?

Good news, bad news. The good news is you can join FOP, just ask at work. The bad news is that unless you are a member in good standing (dues paid) and have enrolled/paid for legal protection, it will not be retroactive. Kind of like buying flood insurance while trying to bail out your basement. No coverage there either.

So join and document, document, document.

Still Here, Not Going Anywhere

Answering some of the comments, Ddg is still here and not going anywhere.

Yes, we still have lives to live and jobs to do, but this blog will continue on.

Other information still to be published, oh yes and further in the future. Keep the comments/information coming!

Rumors of a write in campaign are still out there. As soon as there is some substance that can be confirmed, you'll see it here.

Will glick try and continue to ignore Ddg and the issues raised in this blog? Of course, but Ddg is the proverbial 500 pound gorilla in the room. You can only ignore it for so long before everyone realizes that you are ignoring it. If longshanks had replied during the primary, more people would have voted for either Raybuck or Thompson.

glick can run, he can't hide.
