A Former Dispatcher's Comment

A FORMER DISPATCHER'S COMMENT / Laurie Henry To the Editor: I had a problem which I needed to straighten out. I wanted a sick day to get my thoughts in order. I am thankful for your calls, which have been constant. After working six years, giving notice was sad to think about. The sheriff phoned my home and threatened Father. I had a problem which I needed to straighten out. I violated FCC rules with personal calls for only a moment but harrassing reprimands appeared in my folder. I am thankful for your calls, which have been constant. I used the emergency line to order a root beer float. (I can't work the coke machine, due to my disorder). I had a problem which I needed to straighten out. Sheriff said, "If I fired you, Td never hear the end of it," but because oTTiis harrassment I have no future. I am thankful for your calls, which have been constant. I have not given up on finding other employment. I have always done my best; as stated earlier, I had a problem which I needed to straighten out. I am thankful for your calls, which have been constant. 290 · The Missouri Review ...
