So now that I’ve crawled down off the cross a bit, I could touch on other mindless updates. Chad Fox is coming over tonight to watch a mooovie with me. I’m making him wash the dishes in payment for standing me up yesterday. That’ll teach him.

The weather here has been beautiful this week. Today was no exception. I went for a nice ride this morning along the beach. Very nice. It gave me a chance to clear my head a bit. Now that I’ve got a little experience under my belt, I’ll have to start looking for a riding buddy.

I have another ride along w/the same medic crew scheduled for this next week. I can’t wait! They commented to my instructor that I was quick, eager, and competent!

Did I mention we finally got a raise in our contract for work? It’s only 7% but added to the 8% we got last year it’s a good start. We are still way behind other cities in the area but it’s nice to see all my (our) hard work paying off. (Yeah, a 15% increase and we are STILL not up to par. How pathetic is that?) The 7% is only for a year w/a line opener in the contract however, it’s far easier to keep something than gain something when you’re dealing w/a city-gov. Our staffing won’t improve anywhere near enough for them to argue it away so I’m not worried. It’s effective July 1st. Yippeeee!!! (of course, I still can’t afford a condo in the city. *sigh*)

In tivo world, I’m still loving the new Doctor Who on scifi. It rocks! And the series finale of Charmed is driving me nuts w/anticipation. They killed off two of the three sisters but Leo is back. OMG! The last episode is coming up soon and I can’t wait.
Told ya, I was back….Did ya miss me?
Awww…. Chad is an excellent cuddler on the couch! You guys have fun!
Well I haven’t watched Charmed in 2 years – been meaning to catch up and well NOW I am screwed! LOL
Glad to see you back and at it!

Movie action, alright! I hope it was a sci-fi. Glad to hear you got a raise. That’ a good bump up considering it’s coming from the city! Hopefully the ‘catch-up’will shortly follow!
DAM they killed 2 of them. I hope Piper is the sole survivor is Leo has returned. Dam I missed all the action. Oh well.
I see the flood gates are open. Welcome back!
