My staff tried to B.S. me today



Now I'm seriously pissed. We showed off those new Nissan hybrid RMPs today for the press. That all went well, except for one little thing. See that mobile data terminal (MDT) I'm using in the photo? Yeah, I kid you not, Fleet Services actually tried to snowball me into believing that this thing is currently standard issue in all precinct RMPs.

Worse yet, I almost believed them until one of the cops doing headquarters security walked by, saluted me, and asked me "if all precincts are going to get that new, better looking, more advanced MDT that actually works." Let me tell you did I ever fly off the handle. As soon as the cameras were gone I cursed up such a storm at that poor sergeant sitting next to me I think he thought I was going to rip the computer off the dashboard and throw it at him.
