So, how was your weekend?

Welcome to my world. The Northeast has been a disaster this winter. As far as it being the end of Feb....I don't get my hopes up around here until at LEAST April. I remember a few decent storms rolling through in mid-march.

As far as the weekend goes....I'd rather have had yours. I got called back in to work around 10PM to help process a double arrest, then a few hours later as the temperatures dropped through the floor, I had to go out to an ambulance call for what turned out to be an unattended death. Thankfully the State Troopers arrived and sent us home, but not before I got to freeze rather thoroughly in wind chills hovering around -15

Winter blows.

I'm just now starting my weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I worked 6:30 P.M. to 6:30 A.M. It was my first weekend to work a whole shift since on the streets after being in CID for the last 6 years. Of course there was a late sexual assault Saturday morning, so I didn't get home on time. It is nice being the guy calling out the detectives early in the morning instead of the guy getting his sleep interrupted for once.

So, this is going to sound weird, but was this a man in his early 50's with the last name Famulary by any chance?

I agree, strange question...no, this was an 85 year old woman with a DNR order, so I still don't know why we were called at all.
There was an early 50's man in a neighboring town that morning who bit it from a heroine OD, but not with that name.

Okay, because this was going to become the frikken twilight zone if it had been. My wife's uncle died and was found this weekend up near your neck of the woods. I think he lived a bit closer to Oneonta than to Windham though. Died Wednesday of a heart attack, wasn't witnessed or seen until Friday or Saturday, hence the question.

He was a bit of a black sheep where the family is concerned. Never settled down or got a real job, just kind of bounced around certain in his own mind that if only he could get his poetry published, the world would see he was a literary genius. Doctors told him he'd had a heart attack in the past, but he didn't believe them and decided he didn't need to refill his heart medication despite the fact that his blood pressure was through the roof. His on-again-off-again girlfriend talked to him only a half hour before he kicked it and he filled her in that he decided the doctors were lying to him and just trying to bilk money out of him. Dude was way weird.

I worked 23 hours Monday, and then worked all weekend, now I'm staring down a few more inches of snow when we were only supposed to get "showers."  I'm ready for spring. I hate working in the snow.

Finished two pieces of research I was behind schedule on, and in doing so re-watched the first two seasons of LOST.

I'm a fan of the 12's. It completely occupies the days I do work, but I'm off so much it doesn't affect me much. This week I only have to work Wednesday and Thursday. If I ever had enough seniority to pull off 0630 to 0230 with weekends off, I'd gladly go back to 8's, but since I just promoted to Sergeant, and will be junior for the foreseeable future, I'll gladly stay on 12's.

Where's up north?
