So you're not having a great time. Cast your mind back to when you were waiting to go....remember how excited you were and all your hopes and dreams. Well,thats where a lot of us are now. We except the initial wage is shite and it's thanks to people like you that we know that. We're also not a generally naive bunch - we do one of the toughest jobs you could choose to do. We deal with the crap of the universe - all the people you want off your street or away from your town are the people we deal with every day. While joe soap is wondering when to have his next cuppa, we're wondering how to do a cell search on a 6 foot gang member who we know is tooled up. And the only weapon we're given is the one full of teeth just under our nose...if you can't talk to the fella in a manner he understands then you'd better have a spare shirt in your locker coz the one your wearing will be in tatters within a few minutes.
I respect you and everyone else here. Sugo is right in that this site has a rep for moaning, well the only people that can change that is us. So everyone, please let people have hopes and dreams coz without them life just ain't worth it!!! Yep, it's gonna get messy.....but our eyes are wide open.
Friends???
Well said Pinkie!!!!!

Yeah well! Miss Doom is sleeping, so make sun while the sun shines. I'm still waiting for somebody anybody to give me some lovely, precious Karma.
Very good information about NZ on return for good Karma. I may even tell you how hairy Tana's legs are after a closer look before the game on Sat.
Cheers

Yeah read her posts, but also look at the really positive posts too, and find some balane.

[QUOTE=Beef Wellington]Well, this will probably be my last post.
Good luck to you all, it will be hard but if you believe in yourself anything is possible.

You're not here yet either
I don't think anything is possible if you don't have a living income.
