My Pros and Cons in a small town PD.
Well, on 01/26/11 into 01/27/11 we here in SE PA had a decent snow storm......
A quick hitting 12" of snow and people who didnt heed the warnings of the weather forcasters, put me to work that midnight shift.
I worked the 7pm-7am shift from the 26th into the 27th. After my first several disabled vehicles, and realizing that tow companies had a 2-4 hours ETA, I would need to arm myself with a shovel...
I had my shovel riding shotgun with me for the remainder of the shift and we shoveled out and pushed alot of vehicles out of sticky predicimants that would have later been disasters as other vehicles would have crashed into the disabled vehicles.... well anyways... long story short....
After shoveling, and pushing over 20 cars out of prediciments that could have been avoided by staying the F home, I got out of my SUV for one more, when I did the good old slip a jerk and I felt a pop from my back.....being the troope (no pun intended) that I am, I kept on keeping on till 7am....
Went home, went to bed woke up stiff as a board, but.... being the guy who does not want to dick other people over at work, I didnt call off, I went in and did another 12 hour shift of pure misery.......
Since I did send the Chief emails documenting what was going on, I got sent to the W/C doctor and I am now out of work for a while. Start PT tomorrow, and got lots of drugs....
So, expect more posting from me....
I guess the whole thing behind this story is me pleading with you , to stay home if you can when the weather is shitty, because you may not realize that someone is going to get really hurt even if you make it home in one piece without any crashes....

i'm sorry your now sponging off the state now lol
what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that allow me to do with things that would be a nightmare for people like you.

At least you're getting it taken care of. I hurt my back at work a year and a half ago and reinjure it doing the dumbest things. I just hurt it again last weekend and still recovering. When it snows around here I don't even go into work. Although, I can work remotely
Take care of it and enjoy the drugs!
