It's My Friday!!!

I finally made it to Thursday (which is my Friday). I am so HAPPY! It has been an extremely busy week for me at work. Every day, we have had to work through our lunches and breaks because we have been so short-handed. The money will be nice, but it sure is tiring. Since today is New Year’s Eve..eve….many of the people who work here have taken the day off. The radios are all very calm this morning, which is nice for a change of pace. Hopefully, this will be a very slow day…..we need a break.

Since I have been working so much at work this week, I have not had much energy to do much after work, except to go home and rest. Monday, I worked a 13-hour shift, which really wiped me out. I got home Monday night and almost went straight to bed. Tuesday I was off work at 4 pm, but I had to give a light bar back to one of our REACT members. I had been using the light bar because we had not seen this particular member in about 6 months, so I figured she would not miss it. Monday, however, she wanted her light bar back, so I met with her Tuesday after work and gave it back to her, making me light bar less. My truck looks a little funny without a light bar on top. I do have a blue strobe light bar that is suppose to go to another member, so I am keeping it in the truck with me. It is magnetic, but I can’t have it on my roof when I am on the highway because the magnets are not strong enough to hold it on. If I drive the city streets, I can put it on my roof. Unfortunately, though, most of my driving is on the highway.

Yesterday evening was uneventful. I had dinner and then went to our music minister’s house to watch the OSU/Arizona football game. I had a good time of fellowship and watching the game, but the game did not start until 8:30 pm and half-time wasn’t until around 10:15 pm. Since I had to be at work early this morning, I left at halftime and went home to bed. I found out this morning that OSU did win the game.

I ordered a part for my new light bar, which I purchased with my Christmas money. The part is a bracket I needed to install the full light bar permanently on the roof of my truck. The part should be in today, so if it does come in…..tomorrow, myself and another REACT member will be installing it on my truck. If the part does not come in today, I will just have to wait until next week to have the light bar installed. Either way, I am real happy I am off tomorrow. This evening, we are suppose to have a REACT Board meeting at 7 pm. During this time, the new 2011 Board of Directors will assume their new positions (I am the new treasurer).

Even though this day will be slow, I hope it goes by fast!
