Hell Night #1

Tonight was a hellish night – fun, but hellish.  I don’t even know where to begin so I won’t try.  Tomorrow night will be Hell Night #2 – hopefully also fun though busy. 
The costumes we saw parade by our cameras were fun, imaginative, and most of the females were rather risque.  Guess it is a [...]

Wind

Outside the wind is gushing by the apartment with a whooshing so loud I could almost believe it is winter.  I half expect to see snow when I look out the window but there is none.  The tree outside my window is now naked and even the leaves that had scattered across the lawn are [...]

Yucko Training

I just got my reminder notice that I have training tomorrow at 8:45 am.  This means I will get off at 7am and have to hang around for a few hours before getting to go home.  It does not make me happy.  I won’t get paid for the time between getting off and the training [...]

Tiredly tired

It was a long night to say the least.  The Hawkeyes won by the skin of their teeth – it was nerve-wracking right up till the last second when they won with a touchdown.  What a great victory! For the first time in school history, the Hawkeyes are 8-0 this far into the season.  We [...]

Headlights

Let’s talk about headlights for a moment.  I don’t understand what is so hard for people to comprehend when headlights are required so figured I’d explain it a little.
It is standard rule that if the street lights are on, your headlights must also be on.  Most people would have them on before this but they [...]

Aftermath

The Hawkeyes hung on to keep their undefeated status as they battled the mighty Michigan team.  I am glad they won and I’m told the game was thrilling.  We had it on in dispatch but didn’t have time to consult it more than a couple times to see the score.  First time we looked up [...]

Vacation

I need to plan a vacation I think.  Right now winter is becoming too much of a reality – we could actually have snow in a couple of weeks – so I need to think about a getaway.
I would love to go to a nice sunny beach somewhere – do some snorkeling – but don’t [...]

Today’s Truth of the Matter

is that I don’t want to do this anymore.  I don’t want to be stuck at this desk, looking at these monitors, trying to fill hours and dealing with all the crap everyone dishes out.  I’m sick of it – weary and disenchanted.  As one of my friends in Florida would say when things went [...]

Tempted

I am so tempted to request off at 11pm both Monday and Tuesday night – at least Tuesday night.  But I tell myself the problem I have those two nights each week is not going to go away so just have to deal.  How pitiful is it that my coworker who works 11pm-3am Wed-Fri and [...]

Not Bad

Tonight wasn’t that bad at all busy wise.  We were slower than either of us thought we would be.  Not that we didn’t have stuff to do, we did but there were lulls too where we spent time visiting.  It is almost over and I can’t wait to go home.
I’m watching the sky go from [...]
