Actually it was believe it or not. It was quite a bit...
This is where I get stuck; because ever state has issues of regulation. 1 officer for every 200 parolees, that is a disgusting number. On the one hand I can reasonably see how getting a response would take some time, or even weeks. But I have been struggling with said person for over 6 months and where it not for her supervisor she would not of even responded. That is what really is driving my irritation. Its like " do your job", I mean how many months could it really take when the software automatically generates requests for progress reports to be submitted. WTF!
A favor sure that I feel I worked hard to earn. If one of your deputies comes into work early everyday, picks up every extra shift and never asks for days off; and is always punctual and professional. You are going to give him preferential treatment; it is called differentiation. 10% are rock-stars, 80% are in the mediocre crowd, and 10% are guaranteed failures. I have not violated or done anything wrong (exception of the stupid phone call/ recent) I maintained a job in construction which i hated. I obtained my certs for personal trainer and sports nutrition and knocked out my associates in one year; formed my own LLC and am now working on my bachelors of science in psychology at a decent university, which I will pursue until I get my masters so that I can work with middle-class kids struggling with drugs and addiction. I am not telling you all this to impress you, I am trying to impress upon you that I literally deserve every bit of help I can get but when I am met with such adversity it is confounding.
I was mad at myself not at her; I was pissed because I thought; "**** now I have to wait another month until she decides to stop by." No she did not tell me, I was at the mall buying Christmas presents and missed her by 15 minutes. I was bogus for calling her, sure I admit it. I take full responsibility for making that error. However I find it incredibly hard to accept the fact that; she can just do whatever she wants. I did not think about weirdos harming their PO's. I just want to get off parole I could care less about her as an individual. In my mind, I thought well maybe she will see how eager I am to get off parole and finally FINALLY DO HER JOB!!!
Interesting point, and again I would refer to my earlier point, the cream rises to the top, and it is frustrating when I am met with such complete apathy and indifference. That is what is wrong with people; everybody wants to wash their hands and put the work onto the next person. Do not get involved in your work ect ect. What ever happened with having some heart and listening to it.
Thanks a lot, I wanted to open a discussion and get some feedback about this issue. I am open to criticism as long as its tempered. I do not believe in surrendering easily, not in some physical way, but mentally, never break mentally. Whatever man made, man can take apart.
The bit about my wife is the part that hurts the most. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement, this whole situation sucks. Nothing quite like fumbling the ball....
There is not shit that I can do; I accepted it I just wanted to dig a little deeper that is all. I actually enjoyed reading your response. Keep fighting the good fight
I will take it one step further:
You are probably black single mid 30's (overweight/sloppy looking) and so sexually frustrated and have been so for so long that you have grown bitter and sour on the inside. You think that by
being quippy and having wit you win men over, but they do not like that that is why you are single and bitter. You eat or drink your sorrows away and are very close to your family (mother/sister).
All you wanted to do was exert your superiority over me..lol You are so awesome, you are so great...HA!
You are sad and lonely that is why you have been following my thread, obsessively, because you have no real friends in the real world.
It must have been ... it is almost unheard of to get prison for transportation as a first offense unless you were charged by the feds.
I agree. But, that's the system. We aren't willing to pay for more POs. But, you can always advocate for increased taxes to improve the system.1 officer for every 200 parolees, that is a disgusting number.
A favor is something one does that is above and beyond. You seem to think of it as an expectation - something you earned or have a right to. By definition, that would not be a favor, that would be a responsibility on the other party. This does not appear to be the case.A favor sure that I feel I worked hard to earn.
I might (though I have officers that work for me, not deputies). But, that would be my choice as a reward and certainly would not be an obligation that I had, and I would hope that they would not expect that they be given preferential treatment for doing their job. Since being punctual and professional is an expectation of the job, what you have described is an officer who is at least "adequate." We do not tend to reward people for living up to the expectations of the job, but for exceeding expectations.If one of your deputies comes into work early everyday, picks up every extra shift and never asks for days off; and is always punctual and professional. You are going to give him preferential treatment; it is called differentiation.
I think that is outstanding! But, that does not impose any duty on your PO to give you special treatment or to recommend you for early release.I obtained my certs for personal trainer and sports nutrition and knocked out my associates in one year; formed my own LLC and am now working on my bachelors of science in psychology at a decent university, which I will pursue until I get my masters so that I can work with middle-class kids struggling with drugs and addiction.
Can you point to us where in the job description or performance requirements that she is REQUIRED to recommend people for early release if they are eligible? IF such a requirement exists, I will agree with you that she needs to fulfill her job requirements. Otherwise, it is discretionary and not obligatory. And, yeah, it may be a pisser that she does not see your success, but she is not legally obligated to do what you wish she would.I did not think about weirdos harming their PO's. I just want to get off parole I could care less about her as an individual. In my mind, I thought well maybe she will see how eager I am to get off parole and finally FINALLY DO HER JOB!!!
Huh??? Wow! If that's your attempt to profile me, you are so far off the mark that it's laughable.You are probably black single mid 30's (overweight/sloppy looking) and so sexually frustrated and have been so for so long that you have grown bitter and sour on the inside. You think that by
being quippy and having wit you win men over, but they do not like that that is why you are single and bitter. You eat or drink your sorrows away and are very close to your family (mother/sister).
Huh? I have no authority over you, and am not "superior" to you in any official capacity. Whether I have some greater qualities than you do, I cannot say as I do not know you. But, I do accept responsibility for my actions and understand the difference between obligation and discretion.All you wanted to do was exert your superiority over me..lol You are so awesome, you are so great...HA!
Huh??? I have not been "following" it so much as coming across it and replying.You are sad and lonely that is why you have been following my thread, obsessively, because you have no real friends in the real world.
Sorry that last paragraph was suppose to be separate from the response I made to you. However it combined the two.. I was addressing the previous poster (viol8t) who really got out of order.
Yes "legally" there is not a whole lot I can do.
Thanks and sorry for the mix-up.
Wow. From convict to profiler. That must have been one hell of a online email offer for that degree huh? Your a little off on the race, but being black's good. I'm not sure what you mean by implying I am but, whatever. Not overweight, not sloppy. As you have propbably seen from my Mathc.com profile. But here's where you are really wrong. I am not quippy, I am not witty. I lack tolerance for a condescending felon who wants vengeance on someone because they won't do your bidding! I am close to my mom, not as close to my sister, but definitely not as close to either one like your were to your cellie.
The exertion of superiority, the race card, the sexual repression. Typical. Initially, I followed your thread just to seriously ask what made you think that she had to indulge you in early discharge and also to let you know that she was well within her rights to ignore you persistence. Then you had to be a smart ass. Keep hurling insults. I can do this as a break from actually helping my guys. You know the ones that don't demand things to go there way. You have a good screen name. It is 2012 and you definitely NEEDHELP
Hahaha (I am sure you seen my profile on match.com - geez you are desperate and single. Check
Your race is relevant only because of the attitude you had with your initial questioning. Check ( who am I too question my PO , who am I to challenge her incredible power and authority?) give me a break. Your a cook county PO nobody. Even the sarge from California has more respect for himself and for me.
As for my questions I was simply inquiring into what the rules/regulations were and for the most part I have acheived that end.
You want to start a flame war with me because you love the attention.
Good luck flowerpower on match.com finding mr right HAHAHAHAHA
Vengeance/bidding was is this dungeons and dragons am I going to ride in on my horse challenge you to a dual??? Lol
Well...you are wrong on gender, race, marital status, level of anger, sense of desperation ond just about all other characteristics you've typed. But, you did do me a solid justice. You just made me come to work and find 5 non pain in the ass clients, call them and inform them they are getting an early release. Why? because they unlike some will patiently wait, without asking for a reward to their good behavior and progress.
Maybe, just maybe, you should have tried that instead of stalking and pestering. They said to thank you for the discharges too. So...thanks!
OP must really have an inferiority complex about not being able to get away with his crimes, manipulate his PO's or satisfy his girlfriend. He seems to be looking for a pat on the head here now.
