[QUOTE="Star*, post: 536421, member: 4964"] tHANKS EVERYONE SO MUCH FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT - I REALLY REALLY NEEDED IT! The salary for call taker is under $25k a year......no while it's not great or impressive - I think (like I've always said Witz - at 190k a year I'm moving to the NE) - and rain omg I love the rain! 190K?????? 190K? I had no idea about the scanner channel - that would be neat to have if they use the same codes - going to check today to see if I can find it. I'm still working on - HE goes - from here -------to here and but nor not over here - and will NOT cross the street period. lol - OMG I can see that being MY luck - "Help HELP I've been hit with a bullet------and I got a new 911 operator that sent city and not county - and city stands across the street going -" (tch) well kid - we're sorry but you'll have to wait for COUNTY - sorry youhad a rotten call taker."
