My job rocks!!!

So tonight I was working the front desk when this girl (female white aprrox 30 years old, 506 220, trying to look thinner by wearing all black) came into the station and asked if an officer by the name of Gargonzola worked there. Well that name is kinda sorta like the name of my partner. So I tell her you mean Officer ???? (name withheld). She gets super excited and says "yes!" I advise her he is off but is my partner and will be back tomorrow. So asks for a piece of paper to leave him a note. The following is word for word the note:

"It was nice to meet you the other night even in an imbarrassing situation. Anyways I got my charge dropped. It's funny that a piece of ass can get you into so much trouble but I hope you make trouble with me sometime alone outside on top of a car overlooking a great view. I promise to stay out of trouble with the street. All I really want is you in that good looking uniform and a night on the town wherever. You look so damn good I had the guts to come ask for you exclusively.

310)555-5555 De******

I hope you leave me a message when I can meet you where and what time"

OMG!!! WTF???? This "lady" that wrote this was arrested by my partner via Vice for PROSTITUTION!!!! Thats right a whore who he arrested came back to the station looking to ask my partner out. How awesome is that! Goes to show you how chicks dig the uniform.

Too funny

Back to work

Well today was my first day back to work after being off for 6 days. It started early going into traffic court..I did the right thing and dismissed his ticket..I wrote the wrong section..stupid vehicle code book..there are way too many to learn. So I try to stick to the nice easy ones..the ones that are fix it tickets..

So after that was over I went to a vandalism call..then I had to direct traffic at PCH and Normandie for a traffic accident..I want to thank the countless drivers who ignored myself and another officer attempting to direct traffic. Thanks assholes you almost ran us over!

I then helped out on a child abuse investigation..from there I grabbed a quick bite to eat..then off to a Burglary investigation where some jerks broke into a ladies condo, ransacked it and took coins, vcr tapes and dvds...well worth committing a felony..

I then went back to the station wrote the report and helped out at the desk. It was nice to be back at work and see everyone I work with. Tomorrow is another day...

James Bufford

So a couple months ago at work we received a radio call for a found adult down near the water front in San Pedro. When we arrive we see the man they are talking about..he's probably mid seventies and disoriented, I could tell he had early stages of Alzheimer's. Of course he has no identification on him..but thankfully he could tell me his name. I run him on the computer and get an address in San Pedro. We head up to that address and the manager tells me that he lives in a grey apartment complex near 14th and Palo Verde. No address..great..so we drive up to that area and find a grey apartment complex..mind you it's not really an apartment complex..it's a building with rooms that share a bathroom on the same floor. It houses mainly drug addicts. I get a hold of that manager and she tells me he lives in the apartment with his daughter. I knock on the door and ask her where her dad is. Of course she couldn't be anymore of a drug addict..female white, thin, no teeth and extremely weather beaten. She tells me that he's off with her boyfriend playing pool. Wrong..he's in my car...anyways I proceed to advise her to sew his name on his clothes so we know his correct address and to keep a better eye on him. Not to mention she's sitting in a studio room with 4 other people..gee I wonder what your smoking in there.

The very next week I hear a supervisor run a Jame Bufford over the air. This time he was all the up near the cliffs in Palos Verdes. I get a hold of the supervisor and tell him I know where he lives and I'll transport him home. I see James and tell him I now officially see him more than my friends..he smiles and I take him home. This time when I see his daughter I let her know that she really needs to sort out her life and take better care of her dad..I read her the riot act for 5 mins before heading home for the night.

A few weeks later a radio call of shots fired comes out from the complex James resides at..sure as shit it's legit..a robbery of a tenant occurred in one of the rooms..I'm standing out front when I see a police car from Cypress pull up in front with a female officer..with James in the back. Seems he made it all the way to Cypress this time..of course I have zero time to deal with the daughter again due to the shooting call...

A few more weeks pass and I get another radio call at this same complex regarding a landlord tenant dispute. I get there solve the problem..but right before I leave I ask the manager how James is doing..she tells me he was killed a few days prior..he was walking on the freeway in downtown when he got hit by 6 cars. WTF? Unbelievable..that poor guy..all because his daughter would rather get high than take care of her father. Of course I see her walk out of the complex at this very time. This is the few times I've actually could have given shit on my job if someone complained about me...I told her she was pathetic and that her father deserved better than her as his daughter..I was brutal but really didn't give a shit.

We understand we can't help everyone..and all we can really be is a temporary fix. Adult protective services had been called..but they never answered the door...it just sucks that as much as we try to help it's all for nothing sometimes.

Play Time

Kai loves going to the school in our housing tract and playing on the slides. He goes up the stairs and down the slide..over and over and over and over. He now says "no." We ask him if he pooped and he says "no" we ask him if he's cute and he nods his head yes. Crazy man is already a flirt. Here is a picture of him on the monkey bars.

Yes on 8...??

This is funny..I seriously think we should hold them to it!

On a side note..I have had a few fun weeks at work with Prop 8. I understand fighting for our rights..but I don't think people realized when they had these protests nightly it forced my department to send units out there..which forced the rest of us to work short handed which is a MAJOR safety issue. With the fires and the protests we were forced to work with 1 to 3 units for my entire division..thank god there were no shootings..it sucked having it take 45 mins to respond to calls..and trying to explain to people why we took so long..but I guess it had to be done.

Trick or Treat

On a mission get the Fuc* out of the way

Seriously mom you are in my way!

Nobody is watching I'm taking more candy

Check out all the candy I got!

Man I am sweaty from all that walking!!!


The crappy part for Kai is he doesn't get to eat any of that candy! The crappy part for me was I missed it all thanks to work..and don't worry I'll be working Christmas

Update

Well we have been in our house almost 1 month and boy o boy is it far from being updated. So far we have had the ceiling in the entire house scraped..it's not totally smooth because it was 1960 acoustic..just our luck...we have had Kai's room and the master bedroom painted..and Nicole wants to change the color in the master..NICE...we also have had the downstairs living room painted..the entire house needs paint and new flooring because the linoleum needs to go!!! So everyone can feel our pain here are some pics:

If you look closely you can really see the cottage cheese..on the ceiling not on my thighs

Here is the wonderful kitchen..we have already knocked down the cabinets for a pass through but decided we are going to gut it and start all over again!


Here is a crappy picture of the "yellow room" WTF? Why so much yellow????? Don't worry the laundry room and the downstairs bathroom are also yellow


The entry way...don't you love the grey shiny tile and the mirrors? No worries the mirrors are gone...what you are missing is the awesome track lighting..

Pumpkin Boy

WOW

Wow I was finally able to set up the computer..in the front room! Our Office is still not ready..it is painted..but needs new carpet..hell the entire upstairs needs new carpet..especially the master..and I refuse to sleep in there until it has the new carpet! We have been doing a TON of things to the house and every day I'm off we have workers coming by the do even more stuff. I took a ton of pics of the before so as soon as I find them I'll post them.

Reason

Okay the reason behind not posting lately is as follows:
1) We sold our house
2) We are moving this weekend
3) Working 6 days in a row sucks ass

Work Morons

OK so today was day 2 of 6. Yes you heard me I am working 6 days in a row due to the big move coming up in a couple of weeks. The 6 day stretch includes court tomorrow which makes my day go from 0800 until 2100..13 hours! So I'm trying to get through these 6 days knowing I'll have a good amount of days off soon.

So today at 1130 we get a call of a battery..the victim is drunk..at 1130 not only is she drunk she tells us her boyfriend punched her vagina 12 times. Seriously I don't make this up.

First Haircut

We finally took Kai for his first haircut..at first he had a mini meltdown because we think he thought he was getting shots. When he realized he wasn't getting a shot he mellowed out a little. So our little boy is now a little man.

Again

In the last year we have lost two officers at work. The latest one was on the metrolink train that crashed in Chatsworth. It's days like this that it really makes you appreciate your loved ones even more. You can see by the picture that the force of the accident bent her badge. Which blows me away because they are extremely strong.

T/C

So garbage truck runs red light..nails the lady in the truck whose dog takes of down the street like a bat out of hell. My partner and I just happened to be driving by 15 secs after this happened. There were downed power lines, light post leaning on the garbage truck and only me to attempt to control the entire intersection for 15 mins.

Here is a link to the story about the dog ejected from the truck: dog

Woo Hoo!

Go BJ!

Molar #2

Kai has been fighting a fever for the past few days. Nicole and I both think it has to do with his molor on his right side coming through. He seemed to be feeling much better later on in the day. I tried to take some pics of him in his favorite outfit.

Rock Band

So Kai has decided he wants to be in a rock band. He's been singing, "We will we will rock you", ok the words aren't coming out but you can tell what he's singing. I guess at daycare the boys play band and he's picked up on the song. I'll try my best to get it on video because it's funny as shit, because he can pretty much say that but he still doesn't say Momma, Mom, mommy, mum or even MA. WTF? He does call us dada..whatever it's better than nothing!

Pool Time?

Today was kinda hot so we let Kai hang in the trailer park pool...we still haven't gotten his 1 year photos taken so his hair is getting long..I am about to cut it myself.

I don't get it

kai has a ton of toys and what would he rather play with? The laundry basket.

Shots

I've had a super busy work week with working 5 days..man o man is that a LONG 5 days. Anyways today I had to take Kai in for his chicken px shot and MMR shot. We didn't give them to him on his 12 month check up because he was sick. He cried a little but was totally fine before we got home. We're hoping tonight is smooth because so far so good. This is how tired I was..when I called to make the appt. for the shots she asked me what he needed..all I could think was DHLPP or some other dog shot..I'm so lame. The next thing on my list is to get his 1 year photos done..he needs a haircut BAD...but we can't get it cut until he gets his photos..so maybe Friday I'll take him..

Lemon

We finally found something Kai wont eat..lemon!



The mark on his head is from him banging it on the ground when he got mad..He learned that cement is harder than carpet!

Silly Man

This park has amazing views of the Pacific Ocean..it's also the landing pad for the fire department when they recover bodies that jump off of the cliffs. Crazy sad world..

Work Gripe

I love how people find out we work 3 days a week and think we have an easy job. Technically I work 4 days a week..10 hour days..but it's not the hours that kick your ass it's the constant bullshi* we deal with. We had a traffic accident where the lady lost control of her Ford Explorer..hit a tree..rolled it and then hit a telephone pole..going down a residential street..needless to say she was going over 25 mph..and I found one of her golf clubs 5 houses away..her husband had major bleeding and there was globs of his blood everywhere (when blood settles it looks like jello)..from there we hustled over to help a unit with DCFS who were detaining a ladies kids because she tested positive for cocaine again..and all she could do was blame the worker (by screaming she was going to kick her ass over and over)..to another traffic accident..to a lady who called 911 because her husband was on his way to drive off the cliffs in Pedro (we never found him after looking for an hour, he texted her back and told her he was over everything) to a call where the man called 911 looking for the number to the station for a crime that occurred last week (yes he was high)..and we finished it up with the guy who drove up on the sidewalk to run the girl over because she spat on his car...so when you call us and it takes us a while to get there, you know where we are and what we've dealt with all day..so it doesn't mean we don't want to be there...we've probably had a long bloody day already..

Outing Pics

The Aquarium wasn't too bad..but we are definitely going back after school gets back in session..there were WAY too many kids there. Kai loved it! Every tank he looked at he called all the fishes doggies! He loved the window with the sea lions..he kept smacking the window to get the sea lion to play with him. So for sure we are heading back next month..

Poop Face

Many of you know I'm a freak..well just add this to your list. My favorite face Kai makes is when he is pooping. I call it poop face...he starts pushing and pushing then he tunes out the world because all he wants to do is get that poop out. We were finally able to catch it on film. Enjoy!

Outing

Tomorrow we are taking Kai to teh Aguariu.m of the Pacifi.c! Not only are we taking him but we are meeting out friend Kelly and her twin girls who are 18 months, her son who is 4 and also 3 of her neices who are 6 8 and 10 ( I think) so yes the kids will out number the adults 2 to 1. Time for my command presence to step up! After the earthquake today we can all use a break...yeah I am scared of Earthquakes...but not nearly as bad as bugs!

We'll make sure to take plenty of pictures..and hopefully Kai wont try to drink the stingray water!

Speaking of Kai, the little man is a walking machine! He does not stop. It's crazy to think that he was barely walking 2 weeks ago and now he is all over the place...

Pressure what pressure?

So everyone asks me, "Are you going to make Kai play soccer?" My answer is of course I am! JK..if he wants to play then great! If not well hopefully he'll choose something he loves and sticks with it...but if this video is any indication of what we have to come..we are fine..

First kicks at 1 year and 2 weeks old!

Walking Man

Kai decided being one means that you should be walking. He started take a few steps right before his birthday and now he cruises the house...in fact today he walked around the house while drinking a drink..he is very talented. He's also began to point and we do know that he has some words..nana for banana..doggie, still on DADA..he knows his toes, feet AND another body part..which I'm sure him being a boy you can guess.

He's also become a music freak..I'll get a video of that tomorrow..he bounces his head to certain songs! Just like Mommy..

Today he started to point at things like the plane and my nose..he's also kicking ass on night night time. We read, give him a bottle then say "night night" and he's grab his paci lay on his blankie and fall asleep! He also sleeps from 800pm until 7:00 or 8:00am! Who is this kid?
