I'm Back

So it's been a while since I last posted and I should probably post an update as to what has been going on.

Things have been going well for me on the social front, I have taken "Boo" out quite a bit and we have had a lot of fun. Her mom likes me and as she puts it "Atleast he has a job and besides, it could be worse." her family is awesome.

I have shyed away from posting the last while because of changes going on in our comms center. Our internet privilages are restricted and being monitored so we are to confine our internet use to our break and lunch periods only. Even now i'm hurrying to spit this out to get everything in that I want to cover.

I am on my second day back to graveyards and my body is hating me due to the lack of sleep. Last night I discovered cappachino and the great awakeness elixer that it is. I ended my shift and was physically pushed out of the comms room because I didn't want to go home and would not be able to sleep. I have not had one yet but I think an officer needs to get me one to stay in my good graces.

Great Weekend

Back to the grindstone after a great set of days off. Last Wednesday I worked up the courage to ask one of the corrections officers if it would be ok for me to take his oldest daugher out (I made sure his weapons were secured before hand.) and he said it would be fine. So the last two nights i've taken her out and we've had a blast. I regret that I am going back to weekend graveyards because we wont get to hang out as much due to her schedule.

As I just mentioned I will be going back to graveyards. I hate the sound of it right now because my body has just gotten used to waking up for days and i'm going to have to re-adjust to nights again. I may talk to my boss about seeing if I can stay. I am supposed to go back and another person from my night shift will be replacing me on days while the scheduled person is out on maturnity leave for his wife. My replacement doesn't want to change shifts due to having problems with the other person on the shift so maybe I can swing it for another while.

We have shift bids coming this Wednesday and I have one question to some of the other dispatchers. How long before your shift bids is the schedule posted for you to look at and decide? We have 4 days till we decide and the last we heard the schedule for bidding wasn't even created yet. A few of us have decided to pull together and refuse to bid until we've had atleast a week to decide. I hope we don't just get assigned shifts for not bidding.

So after a long nights rest I feel I am getting my mojo back. Maybe i'm getting over the problems from my relationship and moving on.

Another co-worker and I began talking about making our "Trunk-or-Treat" for halloween a themed event. After finding photos of the officers from Reno 911 and troopers from Super Troopers we began adding names of current officers to the photos for them to dress as. I got trooper Foster as a character
(far left). I hope the officers will play along with everything.

I am now burning my mouth with a buffalo snacker from KFC. I may need to tone the engine to come spray my mouth. My shift bid is coming up on the 15th so hopefully I can score a day shift so my body wont have to change it's sleep cycle too much.

Blah

So I seem to have lost my motivation to do just about anything. My trip went well but with a few unexpected events. Spaz and I have been together for about two and a half years and have agreed to go our separate ways. We've both tried our best to make the long-distance relationship work and have done a good job to say the least with very few snags. We did break-up for about 6 months and worked things out between us. During my trip we had some very deep talks bringing all the skeletons out of the closet and we realized that things weren't working. We are however staying friends and going to keep in touch.

I have began my week long transition to dayshift and it has not been kind to me or my mind. Each day has been a test and yesterday I found myself dozing off in front of my console because it has been so dead. Today will test me again because Sundays are always dead with the exeption of jail visitation that we handle the warrant checks during.
