Chicago Dispatchers

Tuesday, August 08, 2006

Welcome.



This blog has been created for day-to-day rants about the trials of working what is known as the "Ops Floor" at Chicago's 911 Center.

The job itself, mind you. Not "I hate Suzy 'cause she thinks she's cute" type of bullshit. There's enough dissention/lack of solidarity at the JOB every day. Insults hurled that include the names of blue/white shirts active on the "Ops Floor" will be either edited to remove the names...or flat-out deleted. And no, I will not give out any identifiers (name, IP address, etc...) to people who feel "slighted."

Hate the job? Leave a comment. Love the job? Leave a comment, although there probably won't be many of those.

Will update with news as job-related events occur.

Oh, yeah...and comments will be monitored & edited/deleted as necessary. Or did I mention that already. And will be moderated if they get absolutely fucking ridiculous. Not trying to prohibit free speech. But this isn't "Bad Dispatchers" from the SCC blog either. There will NOT be personal attacks (i.e., "Yo momma, that bitch" or "You dick-sucking cunt") on fellow calltakers and dispatchers. Vent all you want about the messed up ticket you got on the zone, how stressed out you got because the person you worked with on the zone is a moron when it comes to doing the job, calltakers can even bitch about the stress of dealing with the sorry ass idiot citizens (or us idiot dispatchers).

But there won't be mentioning of real names. Period.
Thanks for visiting.

With all that being said. 3rd Watch is the best watch (people wise) Mando Ot Sucks. 6 days on 2 off sucks. Lack of respect, compassion, and humanity needs to be dealt with.

Hello, when is the gal on CW2, 1st watch going to retire? Is she a police officer, well she is a bit incompetant! I know dispatching can have its moments, but come on its slow on midnights. OK here is my disclaimer I was a Operator II (Dispatcher previously)so I know there are better people for that CW2.

congrats on the site Karen and company! I kinda wondered when you were going to follow after Dave and his ChicagoListeners!

All of you have very unique personalities, work hard, and deserve a place to vent!

I'll be checking in.
