| Sad days ahead.. |
Well we got bad new at work yesterday. I got a phone call telling me the city council just asked the Chief to resign from the police department. We knew that the Chief was quiting but now with the city doing this they have made it so he can get his contract money that he is due. It is so crazy. We are having a press conference today at the police department and I think its going to get pretty heated. If you want to read about it click hear. http://www2.highlandstoday.com/content/2007/sep/18/breaking-news-ap-police-chief-mercurio-asked-resig/?news
On other good new.. I think there is something in the water down here in the south(Georgia/Florida) because just about everyone I know is having a baby. My sister just told me this week that I am going to be a aunt again which I am totally excited about. I asked Justin the other day if I can have enough love for another nephew or a niece and he told me that I could take some of his love and give it to the new baby(which he says is a baby sister) I have a cousin and several friends that are all having baby's around the same time.. Its crazy. I am not drinking anymore water.. LOL..
I hope everyone has a good time at the feast.. |

| I am still hear... |
Well it looks like I am going to be losing my job. There is still a slight chance that we will keep it but it is not looking hopeful. We are having a city council meeting this Monday. It is going to get very heated. Every officer is going to be there and every dispatcher with be there unless they are working.
I have no clue what is going to happen if I lose my job. My life has been wrapped up in the police department for the past 3 years. There is not a day that goes by that I am not up here.
Now the city council has been fighting with our Chief and he can no longer back us up because they are now forcing him to resign.
What is this place coming to where you cute public safety personnel for property taxes. Hello we are what keeps this city safe..
Please pray for us that we keep our jobs and that we keep a level head when going into this meeting Monday. I work with a lot of hot headed people. |

| It's been a while.. |
WOW it has been a long time.. It's not like I have nothing to write about I just never have time to set down and start typing. Which is weird since I have 8 hours 5 nights a week where I can write something.
Lets see what's new with me..I am never home anymore. I use to be such a home body and now you better know my cell phone number or my nextel number to contact me. My roommate and I are not getting along that well. But we are working it out. (that's part of the reason I am never home anymore)
I have been wondering how in the world do psychiatrist or counselors function from day to day.
My best friend is going through a rough time right now with her "love life" and I seem to be stuck right smack in the middle of it. Because I know both parties and I am really good friends with her other half. So I am getting talked to from both sides. It has put me in such a depressed state of mind that I don't know what to do. I just don't see how people do this for a living. I think that I would go insane if I had to do this everyday with people I don't know.
Here is another thing that has been stressing me out lately. MY JOB. This city is thinking about getting rid of the dispatch center that I work in and make the sheriffs office take over. Which means I will be without a job right along with 8 other people. The city is thinking that if they get rid of us they will be saving over $300,000 a year that they have to pay us. The sheriff is throwing $$ sign's out to the city council and we are throwing out the proof of how fast we are about getting calls out to the officer, fire department, and to the ambulance. And we have made lists after lists of the jobs that we do everyday and the sheriffs office can't hold a candle to us on how much work we do. We go for a council meeting on the 14th of July to find out what is going to happens. SO please pray that I can keep my job. This has been the best job I have ever had. But on a side note. I have decide that if I loose my job as a dispatcher that I am going to go to the academy to become a cop. I finely told my parents that last week and it has scared my mother to death. She so does not want me to do that.
Well that is what is going on with my life right now or what I have been stressing over lately. Sorry for such a gloomy post. I will TRY to post an update soon... |

| Tagged by Mrs. P.. sorry it took so long.. |
I've been tagged by Mrs. P. I'm just going to list seven random things since most people have already been tagged and have already posted there seven. What's random about me?
1. I have had 65 stitches in my head all before I was the age of 8.
2. I helped deliver a baby calf with my grandfather when the mother was having a hard time doing it herself.
3. I grew up on a big farm and loved every minute of it and I miss it.
4. I laughed(not the duck/donkey laugh. I don't laugh like that anymore) so hard on Memorial Day that I have lost my voice.
5. I love Ladybugs.(even after living at fairwood)
6. I once fell face first onto the ground while I was in the back of a moving truck and my dad did not know it and kept going.
7. My best friend (which is a cop) is my hero right now because she just jumped into a alligator infested lake to save a little girl who was drowning. The best part was that none of the guy would go in the lake because they where scared and one of the guys was in the coast guard for 25 years and jumped into the ocean to save people..
so that is as random as I can be right now.. |

| I had a rough day!!! |
It is now 7:45pm and I am just now getting home after leaving my house at 7:30 this morning. In 3 hour I will have been awake for 24 hours..
My day start nice by going out to break feast with a girl from work. I then went to my parents house to see if my dad will go with me to have my oil changed and my tires rotated and balanced on my truck. We got to Tire Kingdom around 11am and was there till 1pm. I had a couple of stop to do before I dropped my dad off at his house. So around 2:30pm I am heading down the highway when I start hearing this loud noise coming from my truck. I was freaking out. We heard this noise over the AC and the radio. It sounded like there was a lot of kids under my truck banging on pots and pans with wooden spoons... I was starting to get really scared because that is my only way to get around.
So I am driving really slow not knowing what is going on. I pulled into my parents driveway got out and looked under my truck and oil was everywhere. Just a steady stream of oil coming from my truck onto the ground.
I called the people who changed my oil and told them what happened. They called a tow truck and had my truck towed back to there place where they checked it over and fixed it. I was ready to put up my dukes if they where going to give me any problem.
I went and got my truck. Its running great. The next 2 oil changes are free for me and my parents. And they told me if I have any problem to call them and they will take care of it free of charge.
IT has been a long day. Sorry I am to tired to re-reading this to make sure it sounds good....I am very tired and just want to go to sleep....
p.s Andrea it was very cool to see Thomas Gordon at the police department. I wish I could have thumped him in the head because he was making me very mad..... |

| I am moving out!!! |
That's right folks.. I am moving out of my parents house. For the first time in my life(beside when I moved to NH) I am going to be on my own. It has been something that I have been wanting to do for a long time now and the opportunity has finally come up where I am able to do.
I am moving in with one of my friends that I work with at the police department. The papers was signed yesterday and we will be moving in to our own 2 bedroom 2 bath home within the next 2 weeks. I can't wait but I am also scared to death. so please pray that everything goes well.
Sorry for the short post but everything has been pretty much the same. My life has been great. Work has been good. So that is the latest in my life |
