NOT DAN !
Good Morning Gentle People ! It’s another Blah-g !
With summer here and other things going on at Blah-ger Central this will be a short Blah-g, however guaranteed to be full of meat, so relax and unbuckle your belt.
AUDIO CLIPS: New ones added regularly, keep checking daily. I should be posting another one later on today.
RICHARD MATASON: Off work and recuperating at home after surgery. Mr. M, you know this Blah-g is very critical about the way you run Westmoreland County’s 911 Center… in fact it SUCKS however I do wish you a speedy recovery. I will not mention the type of surgery that you had here with respect to your privacy however I will say that modern technology is wonderful and I’m glad all is ok now.
You might want to take a hint from this writer to either change things at the 911 center when you get back to work OR think about a new job. Mr. M is due back at work in July… the latter half.
MARK BRAMMELL: Is on vacation. Also critical of Mr. B’s work at Westmoreland County’s 911 Center, Mr. B may take the rest of the year off with the Blah-g’s permission.
DAN STEVENS: Is now in charge with Mr. M and Mr. B off work. GOD HELP US ! Being in charge of “addressing”, sometimes I wonder if Dan can find his own house after what he calls "work".
JOE N: Back at work after a long medical leave. I don’t normally write about Joe as he is a friend of mine and I refuse to let him talk “911” to me. I would rather get my 911 tips through the dispatchers themselves. When Joe and I speak it’s usually about gardening, fly fishing and NASCAR… none of which this Blah-er knows a damn thing about. (BTW, Joe is next in command after Danny… so if Dan would only go on about 3 years of personal days we would be ok. I would even be ok with leave with pay for Dan, hell we blow money on stupider things than that !)
SANDY: New secretary replacing Saundra Singer, the old Executive Secretary (not that you are old Saundra…). The Blah-g wishes you the best in your retirement Saundra and I still wonder how you made it all those years training Mr. Matason on what it means to run a 911 center. Too bad he didn’t listen. But that’s ok, it took Mr. M a paid trip to Harrisburg just to learn how to operate his county purchased Blackberry Phone !
Good Luck Sandy in this new promotion… the money will be great, just keep that bottle of Ass-burn close at hand, especially now that Danny is in charge !
WELCOME: We now have six new Dispatchers out of the last 911 class, 6 new people I can pick on… Sorry, 6 new Graduates to the level of DISPATCHER !
Wear the patch proudly ! (not on a lime green jacket, please!)With these six new dispatchers our county now has a FULL 52, that would be one dispatcher on duty each week ! Just do a good job and your name will NEVER appear here on the Blah-g, like when you see Pat’s name pop up here.
Just remember, you can’t sleep on the job… or at least sleep lightly. Those 12 hour shifts are murder, the 16 hour shifts are killers.
BLAH-GER TIPS CONTEST: Getting back on the regular schedule of picking a name at random for their fine tips to the Blah-g, we have a winner for June.
The winner is a Westmoreland County 911 Employee again and I have been in contact with this “person” and they do not want their name mentioned, not even initials. So I have to respect that.
Out of the last 8 winners, 2 have been 911 employees, 1 is an insider, 1 is employed in the EMS field and other 4 are firemen. So far no policemen have been selected as winners in the Blah-g Tips contest, probably because they turn in the fewest tips and have less of a chance of winning. Come on WC Cops, send in your tips ! news@k3sam.com
The next drawing date for a FREE BLAH-GER CD of AUDIO CLIPS from our 911 system is July 17, 2006.
MOTOROLA: Well, it appears as if this same system we are using WAS LAUGHED out of GERMANY ! No shock to the Blah-ger. Germany went for the TERA system which is made by Nokia, and is a TRUE interoperability communications system.
If you would like to read more about this, it is on the Batlabs Batboard, sponsored by Batwing Laboratories. http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopic.php?t=57676
Thanks for that anonymous tip (see, that’s how you get on the Blah-ger Tips Contest List !).
That’s it, enjoy this wonderful (yuk) 90 degree weather, thunderstorm season is upon us.
DECODED,
