I’ve been a criminal investigator for well over twenty years. You might think every day is filled with action and adventure, ala Hollywood style. Sorry to disappoint, but that is SO not the case.
My day typically begins with something like this.
The only thing that can make getting up somewhat palatable, is this.
Cuz without it, I’m a grouch…
And I gotta get in a morning workout, or I can’t eat all those donuts!
Then there’s my $hitty commute…
As I said, Hollywood fails miserably at depicting the realities of being a criminal investigator. There’s far too much of this. Report writing.
But, I don’t want you to think every day is horrible. There are perks. My colleagues are a hoot to work with!
Occasionally, they even let me arrest a bad guy or two. Course, they don’t all look like this.
Although not part of my typical day, the following Gif Tale is a true one. Did you ever have something fall into the toilet that you really, really didn’t want to fall into the toilet?
When I started out on the job, I wore my handgun in a paddle holster. For those of you not familiar with such a holster, it has a hard, plastic paddle-shaped thing that slips over your belt, so when you have to use the restroom, it’s a simple thing to slip it off your belt while you take care of business. Handy if you’re female. Makes life so much easier.
Often, the only place to rest such a holster is on the top of the toilet tank. Beware my friends. The following images are two things that should never go together.
Paddle holsters should come with a warning such as this: Before placing holstered weapon on top of toilet tank, verify tank cover does NOT slant downward, because if it does…splash! OMG, eew. Of course, I had to fish it out. Again, OMG, eew.
