they had a little battery powered massager at the store the other day, when it's turned on it vibrates and all the feet change colors as it vibrates, first time Jackie put it on Marvin, thought he was gonna have a heart attack.

Didn't Sigourney Weaver fight that thing in a bunch movies?

I think that was what Marvin thought when Jackie put it on him.

The little Boston terrier that we were dog-sitting went home last night. Victoria is sorta sad not to have anybody to play with.

Wanted a stand alone disciplinary data base file accessible only by IA personnel. Never did get one. When I quit in '02 we were still usin' index cards.

They finally got the program after you left. It has been screwed up at least twice that I know of. The chief buys whatever he wants, just not for the street cops Arcey!

I was doin' backgrounds the last time I was in there. They had an intern enterin' the data. I remember thinkin' 'y'all just don't get it.' Then again, mebbe it's me that don't get it........

You 'n the midget been in the office alone again lately?

Nope, they are being right careful about procedure since some butts got chewed on.

What happened was they wanted life easy, and they wanted the basic info on officers to come from the Records database. When we changed the format, the vendor for the IA program, excuse me the OOPS program, forgot to code the changes into their import. Pulled in duplicates of everybody and the officers doing the invetigations didn't pay attention to the fact that their were two records so they were attaching to whichever record came up. Thye wound up with half the data in one record and half in another. It took the vendor about a month to write a merge routine to get the data all in one record and to eliminate the duplicates. The other time was when they changed alot of personnel at once and had a group that really didn't know how to use it, so they made a bunch of mistakes that had to be cleaned up.

They actually asked if we could fix it without looking at the data!

Once agin Klink comes ta mind

Leo, it's a mess......

Oh well. I'm done with it. Tried ta do it proper. Someone else's problem now.

Regina VK's puppet has his diversified, dumbed down crop of rookie school graduates. The hell with quailifications 'n standards. Thinkin' he'd best increase the staff in IA. He's gonna need it.

Again, I'm glad I'm gone.

Me too. I ain't looked back.
