January 11th

I decided to start this blog for several reasons.

One was to have a place to rant, blow off steam and in general voice my opinion as a stress release valve for some of the crap that happens at work.

Another is just to have a place to leave the stories that people always ask about when they hear I work in a prison. People often find it interesting, fascinating, horrific, amusing and scary, and sometimes it is all of the above. Other times it is little more than a pain in the ass.

So it begins. I am not sure yet if I will try to update after each workday, or perhaps just a "week in review" sort of thing. I guess I will just try it out and see how it develops.
