So I took a practice CPAT today after work. It was the worst eleven minutes and three seconds of my life.

I actually did much better than I thought I would do. I have until March or so of 2006 to get that below the 10'20" mark the fire department has set up for us. I'm pretty certain I can bring well it below that...

Me: Phoenix Fire Department what is the location of your emergency?

Lady: I'm at Verde Park and there are animals here.

Me: Um, what kind of animals ma'am?

Lady: There is a goat and three chickens running around.

Me: Are they in a group? (laughing on mute)

Lady: Yes.

Me: Who is the leader? (laughing hysterically on mute)

Lady: It looks like the goat. But...

I hate waking up at 5 a.m. I think i hate falling asleep at 9 p.m. even more than waking up early. I've been so busy lately that the days are just kind of blurring together. I guess that means that time is flying and normally that's pretty good.

I have a practice burn tomorrow. Time to have some fun with all of the chaos...

You're looking at the newest member of the Phoenix Fire Department.

If I pass my drug test, that is. smile

I was scared about passing because my roommate and his girlfriend smoke a lot and I catch a whiff of it sometimes. I did a home drug test and it came out super negative, so I should be fine. If I fail at least I know...

Fucking shit. I hate decisions that will drastically alter my life.

I applied for the Phoenix Fire Department a long time ago and they told me that it would be a few months before I would be called up as a part-time employee if I got the job. I got the job and got put on a list. I also started working for a large...

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): An archaeologist found 2,000-year-old date seeds in an excavation at King Herod's palace on Israel's Mount Masada. He brought them back to a lab at his university and left them in a drawer. They eventually caught the attention of botanist Elaine Solowey, who decided to see if they'd grow. Seven months later, one plant was over a foot tall and had six healthy leaves. An ancient seed, lifeless for so long, had bloomed. I foresee a comparable development in your life, Leo: You will retrieve a dormant kernel or fading ember from the past and bring it to vibrant life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The rules you've been playing by have worked fine for quite a while--not perfectly, but well enough. My sense is that their usefulness is almost at an end, however. Soon they will become counterproductive, no longer bringing out the best in you or the other players. I suggest, therefore, that you change the rules now, before they start undermining everyone. You know that old saw, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" This is one time when that advice is wrong.

This weekend blew fucking nut butter.

Friday I had to go to a Phoenix Fire Department family night because one of my best friends is in the academy so I had to go see him in action. Unfortunately during a fire demonstration the wind kicked up very harshly and blew smoke at the crowd. It sucked.

Today I helped not one, but two people move....
