'Confessions of an alcoholic' - Page 68:
He had another problem to face. A new ‘boss’ had been transferred to his police station who was totally different from the old one who he had admired very much. This new ‘boss’ didn’t understand that policing in the country was different to policing in the city. There were a lot of adjustments to be made, not only by the new ‘boss’ but also by Bundy.
Bundy was an individual who sometimes had much difficulty in ‘taking orders’ from his superiors. He’d make up his own mind about what had to be done and do it. Unfortunately, this was about to change when his new ‘boss’ wanted him to perform a foot patrol of the town. He knew he had to follow instructions from his superior officer so Bundy started walking along the main street of the town.
When he came to the first hotel, which he regularly visited before meeting Ada, he walked into the public bar to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. They were surprised to see him walk into the public bar wearing his full police uniform. The publican offered Bundy a beer for the festive season, which Bundy accepted, quickly swallowed its contents, thanked everyone before leaving to continue on with his foot patrol.
He continued to visit each hotel on his foot patrol each time accepting a cold beer at each hotel. By the time he returned to the police station, he certainly had a wobbly boot from drinking too much alcohol. His ‘boss’ immediately saw Bundy was affected by alcohol whilst he was on duty.
What happened next between Bundy and his ‘boss’ was unfortunate for his ‘boss’? Bundy lost his temper and abused his new ‘boss’ for instructing him to perform a foot patrol. Bundy was at a point in his life when he was not self disciplined enough to ‘follow instructions’. Instead of his new ‘boss’ arguing with Bundy about his ‘state of intoxication’ he left.
