Monotony and Voices in the Night

It's been slow lately, the nights start out with the occasional report to be done for destruction of property or perhaps a theft, then will start to die off. The nights always end up with us sitting in the dark, comparing the various stories we have regarding ex-girlfriends, pranks and what our plans are after the shift is over.

The monotony of sitting on a four lane road that is completely deserted is broken infrequently by the high pitched shriek of the radar gun and accompanying speeder who has decided to give us a break from boredom. The other way the silence has been broken more often is when one of us inadvertently turns up the volume on our radios, giving the dispatcher a booming and godlike voice and causing both of us to react in ways that would surely have been entertaining for the motoring public to see.

*decided to start including songs sporadically as they relate to my posts or how my mood strikes me*
