We've been busy which is a blessing in my depressed area. Where working here there and everywhere. Right now my guys are in Manhattan then tomorrow we travel 3-4 hrs to clean a parking garage that will take a few days. Also have a ton of residental booked and will know by tomorrow if we also got the large Movie theater job to Powerwash it. Our price was $22,000+ and they agreed in principle but there balking at paying me 50% up front. Will know for sure Tomorrow on this. We also are doing another 20,000sq' walkway that will be bathed in Oxalic acid and then rinse rinse and rinse again. This job is paying well for one day but to direct the acid off to a runnoff area that is acceptable with tons of water is going to be tricky. You bet there are some picture I'll take on this one.
But along the way around 9 months ago my back starts hurting and the pain gets worse when I sit. So being a high energy person most of the time I chalked it up as just a pain that will go away....well it doesn't.
So now they want to do 1-3 epidorals on my spine since my L4 disc is herniated. My back screams when I sit but I can stay moving all day. The problem is I have to drive my swabby coming up and that is going to hurt. As for my Shots...no time for at least a month so the pain I can live with.
I also for the first time in my 24 yrs as a cop who was involved in many bad scenes from fatal Car accidents to Jet crashes to catching a Hot looking chick a few yrs ago who live on the water in Jimmy Buffet land and happend to be driving thru my area and ran off and took a piss in the Italian Diplomats property and I determined she actually burglarized it(long story). I actually had to go out Line Duty. just recently I got Poison Ivy so bad from another head on Auto accident and the County being broke me and the tow drive moved this tree becasue it was a major hazard since the County could not tell us when they can respond due to sever cutbacks. So because of this I get the Ivy in my eyes Nose and Mouth. I real bad reaction that takes 2 weeks on 2 different steroids to clear it out. If my lungs would have been shut then I could have been a goner.
Now after that I was told to take an additional Month off since I havent taken much time off during the year and its use or lose by June 1st where this leads me to today.
My guys are out Powerwashing and since I can't sit I'm laying next to the Swabby and trying like heck to get it ready for this parking garage. I'm laying there in my shop and drinking an Ice cold Corona and the beer pours down some on my neck since I'm laying down. Do not recomment anyone to lay down and work. My cell Phone rings and its my Chief. You my day of reckoning has came. I'm going to be asked to leave because I am so senior to all the new guys that I am waying down there contract. My life as a cop is over but not on my terms. This is it....... My Chief calls me "John NIFA" because I follow the 6 guys(NIFA UNIT) who took over the county. I follow there every move and report what I find out. So I guess they had enough of me. The party is over there.
My Chief tells me to be at work May 17th the day after I turn 50 and he says I have been picked as the "Cop of the year" and I'm getting a dinner, Plaque and a watch. I said yea right. I've only written 3 tickets all year. His response was that I have been a good cop who always does his job and never questions why(I guess I got no balls:shrug: lol So the award is official.
And I want to so badly get out because I love the Powerwashing busines. What a wierd day. Nothing about it makes sense. To me its like a circle jerk dream. I can't get away from my two job system. I'm not complaining because this economy is tough and I'm only a step away from being sucked in so I keep keeping on and now I'm being told that "They want me to stay".....
Still my goal is to get back in the org game here since I like that the most when time permits and since my Union days are only memories. But top cop in an elite group....I wonder what there drinking:indecisive:
