Dispatcher Trainee

Dispatcher Trainee
Sitting down looking at the board in front of you,
Broken down into seven zones,
All the streets and avenues,
Begin to shake for to study the map of the city you grew up in like this
Is hard to grasp..all the names of the streets that you have to know,
So that you you do not send a car in the wrong direction.
You listen to the boss explaining how to do it easily,
But it is like a seven forty seven going over your head,
When a call comes in,tells you where they are to be picked up,
You look at the map,looking for the address,see if any cars are holding in the zone,
If not you send a car that is cleared downtown.
But if a car is in the zone where the address is,or in one of the nearest zones,
You have to send that car or you get a weird look from your boss.
Waiting for the phone to ring,
It could be hours between calls,
Which is nerve racking,for while you wait for the calls to start,
The boss is also sitting , waiting, watching,
As you take calls, put those addresses out on the radio,
Giving correction when necessary.
Hoping and crossing your fingers in your mind that you are not
making too many mistakes,
So that the boss does not pull a Donald Trump saying,
