Last week I arrived at work and it was -25 degrees with the windchill. We found out when we arrived at the station that the toques that we went out (that have police written on the front) and bought, we are no longer allowed to wear. We can't wear them because a certain somebody in our division decided that they do not look professional and according to our directive, are not issued by the police, so that means no more toques for us. Instead, we have to wear big ugly furry Russian furbies. These things do not cover our entire head, or ears so when you are directing traffic for 2 1/2 hours or taking photos outside in these temperatures, it gets really cold.
I really do not understand why a touque is not allowed, if you saw this russian hat we have to wear you would also think that a touque would look a little more professional.
So there is my vent of the week, why should it really matter what we have on our heads as long as we are staying warm and doing our job, do you not agree??

I agree with you. Sometimes the desk jockeys who make decisions seem to have forgotten what it's like on the street.
Does your toque fit underneath the furby? If not, can you get a bigger furby and sneak it in there?
100%...I always say practicality before fashion. I have fur hat..but its used for practical reasons...so are you allowed to put the flaps down over your ears?
Are you down for the bachelor party?
Go and arrest some one so you have a lot of paper work to do then you can sit behind your nice worm desk. pussy!
Quit your crying...
Why don't you get a job out here in lotusland...short sleeves and shades (and the odd umbrella) all year round!
Glad I found your blog. Nice pic by the way. You look like an undercover cop trying to look hip ("Huggy Bear"...ah, you're too young for that but some of your readers might get it).
Come out for a visit...NC

Why don't you put on ear muffs under that fur thing they call a hat. Then maybe they will change their minds about the toque.
