Sorry for the delay folks, training at work has been crazy. The first few weeks I had a pretty weird schedule so a lot of my time was spent working when all of you are sleeping and sleeping when all of you are working. Last week, this week, and next week I'm working all days, so that's nice. The midnights and 4 to mids are fine for learning the basics and laying groundwork, but day shift is where you need to be to get in a lot of reps and put the spit and shine on your skills. Right now I've got pretty much all the run-of-the-mill stuff down, mostly all that's left is the weird random shit that almost never comes up. Like on Monday the guy training helped me do something that even he'd never done before in 8 years of being there, hence the plethora of notebooks and binders with seemingly useless shit in them but when you get a weird one they'll save you every time. Long story short, everything is going great so fa and i LOVE my new job! I actually enjoy being at work and I love the camaraderie with the guys and all the different calls and it's just awesome. Now I just need to put in a year or two "on the pine" and hopefully I'll be able to slide into a patrol spot. In other "news" I got sucked into The Biggest Loser because a lot of hte guys watch it Tuesday nights and now I'm totally hooked, last night's episode was pretty good. I just can't stand all the crying on that show, it's a biig weep-fest. Hope all 5 of you that read this are doing well. Adios.
