Traffic Accident @ Cornelia/Harding

Good afternoon, everyone, it's 3:37pm. I'm monitoring 17 from now until I have to go to class at about 4:50pm or so. I monitored 17 this morning from 6:23am to 8:01am and heard no calls. I'll also try to monitor 17 a little this evening before I go to bed. Anyway, I started my first day of work today. Yesterday, my co-worker's and I's schedules were messed up by our organization so we weren't scheduled for yesterday. I work at a government building in Downtown. Work was pretty good, I guess. I like my schedule and what I do, but it's going to take me some time to get used to having a boss. Good thing this particular job is only for six weeks. I work Tuesdays through Thursdays, and I have to attend training on the West Side for my job on Mondays and Fridays. Well, enough about me. Here's crime for portions of this afternoon and evening.

4:06pm - Traffic accident. Cornelia and Harding. Two cars, no injures.

4:56pm - I have to go to class. I may or may not be back tomorrow. If not, have a good night, everyone!

Good morning, everyone. It's 6:26am. I'm monitoring 25 today from now until about 8:05am then again after about 8pm or so until 11pm. I know it's not much, but I'm starting my first day of work Downtown today, and then I need to do my homework for class. Tomorrow, I plan on monitoring 17 only in the morning before I go to work. If you haven't done so already, this is your last chance to take the readership poll. It closes tomorrow, but your vote would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, starting today, there will be a change in how I let comments be put up here. I WILL still allow anonymous comments, but if anyone decides to discriminate on any age, gender, sex, religion, disability, etc., your comment will NOT be published, anonymous or not. This also goes if you are being disrespectful or not providing constructive criticism/a well-thought out opinion. I have had enough of my blog's comment sections being taken over by people who contribute nothing, and truthfully, if anyone has a problem with it, just stop reading. I'm sorry to be crude, but that is my honest opinion. Sorry to the rest of you guys, though. Here's crime for portions of today.
