Title: New Job
Post by: Janet Harrington on January 10, 2005, 07:37:19 PM
Just to let my friends know that I started work today as the new jail administrator in Wilson County.  This jail is about 3 years old, holds around 77 inmates, and has lots and lots of problems.  The new sheriff, Dan Bath, hired me to try and get the jail straightened out.  Lots of physical plant problems that have to be fixed.  Hope the commissioners will know what they are in for.  How nice for the new sheriff to get me, 22 years experience, to help keep him out of hot water.  All the deputies are people that I already know. The police officers in Fredonia and Neodesha are friends of mine, so I think that things are going to be great over there.  Lots of work to be done.  Hi ho hi ho it's off to work I go.  By the way, I get paid more to be jail administrator in Wilson County then I ever got as sheriff in Elk County.

Well, Wilson County has the right person for the job.. if anyone can get that jail in ship shape.. you can.
And knowing you like I do.. you will have a great time doing it...They certainly have a "jack of all trade and master of all" when it comes to police administrative work and know how.   Enjoy your new adventure Janet dear...You deserve it..

But just remember.. when it gets a bit tense~~~~~~~~~ :-X~~~~~~~~~~

What wonderful things to say.  I will tell you that I went into that job smiling and they haven't wiped the smile off my face, yet.  Thanks for the nice comments.  I, too, think Wilson County wins and of course I am out to show them what they have won.  Thanks again. :D :D :D

I just want everyone to know, (after reading this post that I did in 2005), that I no longer work for Wilson County.  The idiot sheriff there fired me on March 6, 2007, because I had been looking for a better paying job.

Anyone that would like to read the letter that he wrote to me on that day feel free to e-mail me and I will send it to you via e-mail. 

What he was really doing was using my salary to give everyone else raises and since I did not live in Wilson County, I was sacrificed.  There ya go.  An unemployed old sheriff.  Whatever will I do?????????

Janet, I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your job, but I firmly believe all things happen for a reason (because a Higher Power has a Higher Plan, and not because you are at fault in any way). Something wonderful will surely present itself to you. Have faith ... and keep your eyes open.

We sure could use a new sherriff down here in good ole Baker Co. Fl.  The town where I live is very much like Indy.  Want to move to sunny Fl TaTa.  The beah is only about 60 miles from here.  If not I do hope that something comes along for you soon.

Janet
Wish you the best. I work for a youth rehab. STRESS IS THE WORD! Very challenging and sad in many ways.

Hats off to you, not many can do this type of work. If any one can I think it would be the one from what I have read.

Good luck
