Good idea.

Hey blogmaster...instead of a thread bashing the hard working, dumped-upon supervisors, let's talk about our co-workers who expect to come to work and get paid for doing next to nothing (and several while on overtime!!!) They do nothing more than steal a paycheck, in my opinion.

We agree wholeheartedly. And even though we can just imagine how nasty this thread could get (we'll be monitoring it closely), here's another open post.

A post to vent your gripes about lazy ass, sleep-on-the-job-because-they-work-too-much-overtime, work-double-shifts-and-do-a-fraction-of-the-work, spend-more-time-walking-than-sitting-at-the-console coworkers.

This could yield one of the highest comment counts in the ten months this blog has in existence.

Expansion

So far (including the first poll), the polls show a 17-7 vote in favor of bringing media topics into the blog. Much to our chagrin, that means more work for us. But we'll do our best. We will, however, try to limit the media topics to subjects that relate in some way to the job.

Unless we find something too absolutely hilarious or shocking to not mention.

That'll help the blog stay focused and true to its initial premise, and at the same time minimize our headache. Blog maintenance ain't a cakewalk if you're going to update with any frequency, even with an average of only ~110 visits per day.

If we miss something that you think is pressing enough to mention on the blog, CPDDispatchBlog at yahoo dot com is available 24/7. Don't count on us sitting at the computer 24/7 monitoring the inbox, though.

Poll update

The poll didn't go away within a few hours by our doing. We didn't play favorites, the site we linked the blog to seems to be unreachable from some ISPs. Therefore, we've created another one. This one will be up until next Sunday.

By the way, in the interests of "transparency," we'll mention that the last time we saw the poll results from the first setup, the votes were 7-4, with the "ayes" ahead.

Taking a poll

Don't worry, this won't be a common occurrence, and it won't stay for more than a week. We're just curious, and this gives us a more "targeted" approach to finding out what you think.

Not to mention, it gives us the chance to try something different for once. Feel free to fill out the poll to the left side.
