Life in K-9 (42)

im very tired, very sian and sick of coming to work.. 2 security dog handlers is not enough in a team.. either portsdown 1st shift or 2nd shift, rotate till a new dog handler comes in.. the breathing space is getting tighter and tighter.. is like just work and work, no fun, no training, no rest, no morale support from team colleague..

there are 2 new dog handlers posted to HQ.. but 1 of them, i feel they put him in the wrong team.. or 2? i donno.. 1 team is play mc till "other-team-know-who-is-going-to-take-mc-the-next-tour" of mentality.. another team, well, short of manpower, got 1 going to ord, so they post him in this team.. hey, how about our team? so-call the most hardworking team, the most stressed team to be in, the lowest rate mc in the team(really??).. if one of our team colleague never opt for base guard just so that he can be contacted(lame excuse) or another one who have leg injury, went for surgery and have a long term mc.. since i came in 4 months ago, i yet to see him reporting for duty..

we (me and my colleague) have to endure for another 3-4 months before someone comes in.. i think my colleague can prepared for his ord liao.. one comes one go where is the replacement..

my ops officer say correctly.. HQ team need at least 20 dog handlers.. but everyone will say, "where to find so many people? space so limited, kennel not enough.."

one thing im very sure of is, if my colleague is not around either on course or report sick.. let just say that i dont want to go through 12 hr of "worse than inmates kind of treatment"

portsdown personnel, minority of them treat us machiam like dogs.. no more food given to us, we have to buy coupons..they rather let the food go into waste or feed the cat.. not even a minimum of welfare is given, big fat mosquitoes is spotted due to their feast on those dog handlers who deployed at there.. hot and humid weather.. limited movement.. officers whose job is only know how to eat up those dog handlers.. discriminate us and treat those CISCO officers better.. prison and police are under the same roof yet CISCO getting the better treatment from them..

what i want is someone to hear our complains, our ill-treatment at there and provide us a win-win solution for the benefit of the prison and dog unit.. i donno why the mentality of those officers only know how to eat us, yet doesnt even have a clue we are suffering mentally.. what i say is no use, just fart and you will feel better.. these complains will still be around after i ord.. the prison will close down in 2012 or only the illegal immigrants will stop coming to singapore then the prison will close, whichever is earlier.. anyone want to bet the day illegal immigrant never come to singapore.. hopefully this someone will know our predicement, close the prison once and for all.. till this day comes, i feeling hard done down here..

people can understand the situation what we went through, but what i want is not just those advice like, "aiya, forget it, serve and go off liao" but rather, "ok, action will be taken against this officer.." lol.. dream on.. i think i need to go somewhere and really shout out loud to empty those negative feelings.. ive been bottling it up since i started as a security dog handler..
