April 2015



 Well, there are changes under way here at WCFA, or I should say TDOC.  With Haslam’s newly appointed commissioner comes some changes. No more Honor Pods.  This typewriter isn’t equipped with emoticons.  (I think emoticons may have been invented in a post typewriter world), but if they were I would put a frowny face one here. :(  So no more work out equipment, no more ping pong, or no more ordering out food. Unfortunately there’s no more real incentive to “do right” (as Coach Po always said)  which is sad.  All it will do is make life easier for the gang members who want to cause problems, and harder for the people trying to stay out of the way……  This will be gradually phased in, so we will see in the coming months.

-What has happened lately is I, along with all the other library workers and the teacher’s aides and tutors have all been moved together into an “education” pod since we all work in the same area.  It’s to minimize and localize some of us who do tend to stay out of the way, so it has been a blessing.  I got in a cell with an older man who I work with and had kinda taken under my wing anyway just because he reminds me of all the funny old men who can’t hear and love to laugh that I have been around my whole life, at church and family functions and what not.
