Topic: The Club House / Hello, I'm a student specializing in Corrections

I’ll be 56 and have to go 4 years with out medical coverage because purchased time from the Military only counts for retirement time only, not med coverage. Doesn’t matter I’ll go to the VA unless Obama care is better. 60 days, glad you could hang in here for so long don’t drop off the forum and maybe we’ll cross paths someday and laugh about this crap while on the boat.

Hey Chunky Monkey

In the Merriam-Webster Dictionary I found this.

Definition of PANSY
1: a garden plant (Viola wittrockiana) derived chiefly from the hybridization of the European Johnny-jump-up (Viola tricolor) with other wild violets; also: its flower
2: a: usually disparaging: a weak or effeminate man or boy
B: usually disparaging: a male homosexual

And as for chunky monkey, well I couldn’t find anything but it does point to an Ice cream flavor, so here.

Definition of ICE CREAM
: A sweet flavored frozen food containing cream or butterfat and usually eggs.

It may not mean too much but it also rhymes with: abeam, agleam, airstream, berseem, beseem, bireme, blaspheme, bloodstream, centime, coal seam, cold cream, crossbeam, daydream, downstream.

So there.

The next time you think about talking (texting) smack remember I’ll be watching you.

And if you look to your left, you’ll see that the fire exits are located at the front and rear of the building. Please keep in mind the supervisor will need to verify that the fire is indeed a fire before the exits can be utilized. Screams from you are permitted as long as the inmates are not negatively affected by them. If you’ll look to your right you will see what Mick has mentioned “The Mad House” we’ll save that tour for a later date.

A woman who has set her goals to be as equal to a man, has not set her goals very high.

We in Ohio have some jobs that are gender specific, like when there is to be strip searching of inmates, they can’t unless it’s for serious security reasons only.

I say that when you retire, you get ungodly stoned and debate this issue to see if it makes sense or not. Grant it, being ungodly stoned would indeed make it nearly impossible to debate this issue rationally but you should go to Denver first before you attempt it.

Topic: Everything Education / Informational Interview

2 cents time: I’ll have 19 years in the system in about 2 weeks, so I can tell you a thing or two, about a thing or two, myself. You must also remember that what I can tell you might differ from others and most likely will. As for schooling, yes it will help but only a High School/GED is needed to become a corrections officer (in Ohio) but it would indeed help if looking for promotional opportunities. I’ll be the one to correct you here about the longevity of our job in corrections, as we work as a public servant our jobs are tied into the economy, good times no worries, bad ones, well then you’re looking at cut backs, lost posts, lost benefits, no pay raises and possible privatization and so on. So yes, we need prisons it’s just that privately companies may be the ones running them. As for the question about how we feel about our jobs, well that one is a personal one, some love them, some hate them and for each there is a valid reason for their choice, may not be a sound choice but there is a reason and yours will be up to you. I think most love their job for the first couple of years, not to say you’ll change your tune at that time but that’s when most changes start if there is any.

Some officers only work for a few weeks because they thought it would be a great job (in their head) and moved on. There is no shame in that and you would be a foul to work here if you hate this job, because then you’ll put not only yourself but your fellow officers at risk.

Remember this is just my 2 cents worth, nothing more, good luck.

Oh and Irish this was my sane side ……I ..?…never mind.

Topic: The Club House / Ohio's Retirement health care

OPERS has dropped the spouses health coverage for Retirees. That means all state Retirees, past and future, just got kicked in the face. While we do provide for our spouses while we are employed, we will not be able to retire with a livable income, if we have to pay for the extra cost of coverage. Our spouses are not as one wife said on the OPERS forum “extra baggage” they have been with us and have supported us throughout our careers and should not be thrown under the bus, when we finally reach to the finish line. I have e-mailed our union president voiceing my concerns but I think other State employees have to contact him and also State Rep’s to let them know what you think about the changes and to see if any changes in State polices can be made,.
