04-24-2024 - From my corrections consultant - Would you believe that two cooks (offenders) got into a fistfight over who made the best biscuits? Yep, it happened. In my opinion, the biscuits were nothing to fight about. The cake, on the other hand, was delicious!

04-23-2024 - From my corrections consultant - Copies From Hell - One of my "pet peeves" has always been having to work with crappy 10th-generation copies of company forms. The Allred Unit wins the prize for the crappiest copies that I've ever seen during my working life! I was working the front lobby in the main administration building on a visitation day. My job was to record the same information that the visitor had just provided in the building they were in just before reaching my building. Aren't we in the "computer age"? The forms I was asked to use consisted of horribly wavy lines that were supposed to be straight. The wording on the form had faded away in many places and was written over using a pen, and more crappy copies were made. I guess they never thought to look for a master copy of the form. The embarrassing part for me was the fact that these visitors were standing there watching me, a representative of a large and important state agency, using a form that a first-grader would probably have rejected as a scribble pad. I was so disgusted that I took the time to make new forms on my home computer and used them as new master copies. Tune in to the Allred Unit at 153.815 MHz on your scanner radio.
