Yep, Karla's car was completely covered and my mower got covered as well. What was really strange is it was not really that cold this morning. It was just below freezing, so it felt pretty good. Once I got my truck started and headed out, the side streets were the only thing that caused me any real problems. The interstates were pretty clear, although, all the on-ramps and off-ramps were very slick. I left the house at 6:15 am and made it to work by 6:35 am. It really was not that bad, but many of the idiot drivers were already out, so I was glad I was already at work.
This week, I am training a new dispatcher. I know it's a honor for me to be chosen to be the trainer, but it does kind of cramp my style because I have to train at my desk and don't get time to do my own work. The lady I am training has turned out to be a quick learner, which is good for me. Unfortunately, slow days are not good days to train....it's better to do it on busy days. It did start out slow this morning, but it picked up around 10 am and just kept getting busier. That was good because it really gave her some good hands-on training.
Well, our REACT team is still waiting on the word from my church. Two weeks ago, I gave a proposal to the deacon body....this proposal would allow my REACT team to use one of the vacant office spaces in the church as our emergency operations center. We would pay them a monthly fee and use the office anytimke we do courtesy patrols, or when we have severe weather. I really did not think it would take this long to get a decision. The deacons would have normally met yesterday, but decided to meet next Sunday. So, one more week and we should have an answer. If they deny us, it will kind of be a kick in the face to me.
