Shawna, never fails to surprise me, astound me, leave me in laughter, or even in tears when we talk on the phone. The tears are because by the end of the call reality sets in "they" want to kill this perfectly healthy, vital, vibrant woman with so much personality and so much to contribute to the world. Now, she frequently catches me off guard, sometimes with humor, sometimes without it. This time it was without. Among complaints, some of which i will post later, Shawna managed to throw me for a loop when speaking fondly of the guards. I have always imagined the guards to be hard, harsh, surly, even mean authoritarians. Shawna assures me this is just not so. Oh I am sure there's 1 or 2 that may be less than kind or courteous at times. But Shawna speaks very highly of most all the guards. She praises their hard work and professionalism and states they work very hard and it's a hot and tough job, dangerous too. I wanted to get this posted as we "ding" at Perryville staff and rules, it's not the guards, they are merely doing their jobs. And we salute you Perryville guards for treating the ladies fair and kind and like human beings. Kudos! Your jobs are hard and dangerous and i'm sure you do not get enough pay, time off or credit for what you do. Thank you all very much!! Maybe your management can notice and pat you on the back and give you a raise.
