Here we go round the mulberry bush...
Blah! I guess i can update now that I'm pretty much back to normal and not too sick anymore.
Nothing is really new other than work. Work Work Work. That's my life for the next month or so since we're losing people and what not... I'm on A/B shift now until mid-sept, and then I switch to C/D shift nights for a while until we get the new people trained and I can go back to my normal daylight shifts. I used to not hate nights but man, I can't really work them anymore. Ick.
Anyways. So Friday's supposed to be my last day of training because of all these new people and what not... fine with me. Little raise in pay is nice!
So this storm that came and ripped through richmond a few days ago... Gaston... didn't even know it was coming. THAT'S how sick and out of it I was. (Yes, the NERD didn't know the storm was coming... i know, shocker)... I found out about it Monday when we kept getting TTY's about it. Then I called joanne, who advised me that there was nothing to do when there was 5 feet of water on I-95.... unless you found a canoe and went to go see it. (which is what she did)
But MAN... I'll photoblog some pictures later from it. DANG. I wish I had my Swiftwater certification now and was in Richmond, cuz that would have been pretty dang awesome to work. Of course, I'd hate to be a city of richmond police/fire/rescue dispatcher now... that'd suck!!
check out www.nbc12.com for some pictures.
Anyways, I'm sitting here fiddling around with my new toy, filemakerpro 7. I made a live CAD system for the city of wayfield last week, and i should have just let it go then, but i spent some of yesterday working more on it... i need to stop. LOL. I'm stopping... i swear.
Well, I work Friday, Sat, Sun, and part of Monday... off tues and work wed/thurs and then not again until the following monday. sweeet. Alstons on Friday for the Worx... not too late though.
I'll update more tomorrow I'm sure. Peace!
