The only solution is immediate termination. If the employee isn't fired today, then you are enabling.

And the ultimate issue is that Canton leadership (mayor, aldermen, police chief, etc.) will be far more concerned with this being publicized than they will with the actual behavior of the employee. They will be saying "who filmed this, how did this get posted?" Instead they should be saying "why is this fool asleep?"

Just a symptom of the peaceful existence that is Canton -- the Mayberry of Mississippi.

Looks to be a qualified COJ water system employee

Maybe it was break time

He'd make a good Secretary of Transportation.

1) Take it easy folks... he's related to [fill in the blank], and

2) He was up all-night playing video games; he should be allowed a nap.

The future of Amerika. Get used to it.

And 8:05am is EXACTLY right. Mississippi "leaders" don't give a shit about performance, only staying out of politically dangerous optics.

Save the harsh critiques:
Upon receiving a call, he may be able to instantly awake and, like a coiled spring, jump to the ready.

When seconds count the police are minutes away. Lock and load.

Sure hope he doesn't wake up with a crick in his neck.

He's obviously underpaid. If he were paid more he would stay awake. He must be a union man.

He is on his meal break. There are two other dispatchers on duty. (It could happen, right?)

@8:05 AM - That is so very true. Getting elected/re-elected isn't anything, it's EVERYTHING.

Canton seems to set the standard to follow for everyone else! Lead on Canton!

9:40 - sounds like you’ve yet to learn that lazy people will take as much pay as you’re willing to give them, but they will always be lazy. It’s a hard lesson business owners learn, lazy comes in all pay brackets.

Room lights should be up. This isn't a night time air traffic control tower.

Sounds like 10:44 has yet to learn sarcasm.

Which I sincerely hope was the intent of 9:40's post.

He is training to take a job at CMU.

Hour and a half lunch breaks are tiring and sometimes require a little nap afterwards. Give him a break.

11:41, you hit the nail square on the head. CMU is working off Jacksons play book There has been a water main leak on the street I live on for months. CMU has been made aware of it yet NOTHING has been done.

That is just pathetic.

Yall know yall don't need no AR 15 for protection.

Don't jump to conclusions...this man is a coiled spring just awaiting something to pop off....

!!!!! So what if a dispatcher sleeps when there are no calls!!!! The police pull in a corner and do the same thing. Firemen have beds in their station to do the same thing when there are no calls, oh and paramedics have beds in their stations to do the same thing when there are no calls. Why single out a dispatcher who’s getting paid the least of any of them. It’s a sad day when your coworkers set you up to be fired

What’s the big deal? Obviously, the man hasn’t yet returned to work from his three-hour morning break.

I’m more concerned that a law enforcement agency is still using Windows 7.

@3:10 touched a nerve huh? Go to www.growaset

This lounging, lazy assed joker is in a life-saving position. His position demands someone who is alert.

His coworkers who sent the video obviously know this guy is gaming the system, sleeping when he should be alert and should be contributing and know he's a slacker and a goof ball. I can't fault them for that!

If anything, they're whistle blowers who are to be applauded.

@ 11:52 am, yeah he has a life saving job but so do firemen and ambulance drivers there in beds sleep not chairs so why single out the person that has to wake the police, firefighters, paramedics

Anonymous said...

6:48: Because he must be immediately alert to function. And to immediately function, he must remain alert, not gain functionality after half a minute of 'waking up'.

He must be able to answer "911, what is your emergency" in one split second after the phone rings and within two more seconds determine who to alert.

But, really it doesn't matter what you think or what jobs you think are comparable. They're not. Imagine applying for a 911 dispatch job and asking the hiring authority if it'll be alright for you to sleep on the job.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
