Moving & shaking

Olivia is all over the place now!

She is walking, peeing in the pottie & also pretty much talking. She can say Animal (muppets), ouch and a few others that where already in her vocabulary.

It's really incredible how much she has changed in so little time. I mean, just the other day, she was born... well, that was 14mths ago!

Work is going pretty well for me! I've started my dispatcher training on Thursday & Friday night of last week. It was pretty cool & certainly better then call taking. We've also been assigned permanent rotations which is kinda nice too! It really takes the guess work out of trying to find out when my next shift is going to be!

On another side of things, I completely screwed myself over. I missed the cut off date for the Casuals positions at the FD. Kinda upset about that, but what else can I do!

I'm also looking into a couple of other options to help pay down some bills. But we'll keep those to myself for now!

Well, I guess that's it for now!

'til next time!

Home Stretch

Well, we are in our final hours of classroom training.

Tomorrow is our final exam and it's taking most of the afternoon - if not all of it! I'm really anxious to get it over with so I can start working! I'm kinda itching to get on the phone... Mind you, if I was a keener, I could have done so already a few times!

A lot of things have changed since my last post. We had a few conversations with management & they decided that we are going to be based on performance & not only on our knowledge/memory of the procedures.

I'm really happy about that! As most of the time, I learn by doing, not only by just reading it....

This is only a short message as I need to unwind a little before test time...

'til next time!

Stay Tuned

Tomorrow, Wednesday, I will be meeting with an opportunity to do some local business. I know that I'm being vague; however, I don't want to jinx things.

On Thursday, I will also be meeting with MTCC do complete an aptitude test. I'm sure that these are pretty simple things; however, they are kind of stressful when you think about it.

So, stay tuned & I'll be able to share more news as soon as I have it available.

'til next time!
