"Hey, C.O."

This is usually what I hear at least once a night...if not numerous times. I never thought that I would be working in a county jail and enjoying it. Don't get me wrong, there are days that I wonder why I stay there, but if it wasn't for my co-workers I doubt I would make it through. I could definitely do without the smells and those individuals who think they're entitled to things, but I find that if I just comply with some of their requests then it makes my job so much easier.
A couple weeks ago I was called "hateful" by a female inmate. I don't think of myself as hateful, just fair. Needless to say, she doesn't think I'm fair. It might not be a dream job, but it tops sitting behind a desk all day.
