If this post gets to you its a miracle.

This weather is getting too much now and my laptop seems to hate it as much as I do, overheating and turning itself off every few minutes.

The evenings getting cooler now and its been on for a whole 10mins so far so I keep my fingers crossed I will have something to do this evening - TV suck recently.

I'm going to stick to night duties in this heat, at least they are bearable, unlike my police staff job where we are now the largest department in that area crammed into the smallest office with no air-con.

Just a small introduction. I work in a city force as a special constable and police staff.

I am a fairly new special (attested in February 2006) but have been serving as police staff since Oct 2002 so I'm not new to force bureaucracy, cost cutting, etc...

I wont be revealing too much about my police staff role as that will reveal to the powers that be who I am which at this stage I'd rather remain anonymous.

I'll try to post when I can so check back often.
