In my line of business, I frequently came into contact with the local Washbridge police. We had a kind of love/hate relationship. I hated them, and they loved to hate me. My dad had enjoyed a much better working relationship with them. I put it down to the fact that I’m a woman, and they were all chauvinist scum-bags. According to Kathy, it was more likely to be because I was opinionated and difficult to get along with. According to her, I didn’t have an ounce of tact. That simply wasn’t true. It wasn’t my fault that they were all incompetent asshats.
