Mini Updates

Went shooting last night, took 2 newbies: 2 chicks who had never been shooting before. We had a great time! I feel ready for my annual qualification on Sunday. I just need to take my time, breathe, pretend I'm shooting for an Olympic Gold medal, heh heh.

Went on patrol on Saturday with my Lt. He let me drive the whole time which was great, but he also said I drive way too slow. How the hell am I supposed to break my slow, gas-conserving, fuel-economizing, deeply-ingrained-thanks-to-the-past-4-years-of-increasing-gas-
prices-coupled with-my-decreasing-financial-state driving habits?!?! Anyway, my slow-driving ass made 2 arrests.

I took 2 really cool classes last week: This one and this one. Consequently I am now reading an actual FICTION book, Next by Michael Crichton and I cannot put it down. I am doing that thing again where I read at stop lights in the car. S'ok, it seems to make the lights turn green faster.

My new boss at Job #1 started on Friday. She seems cool and friendly. I mean, anyone who has gone to see Dave Barry and the Rock Bottom Remainders in concert--as I have--is damn well ok in my book! Meanwhile, my boss at Job #2 sent me an email saying, and I quote, "I am not surprised that you are always on top of things. You are a wonderful asset to the [Job #2's name] family."

S started a new job last week. He is now employed by one of his favorite places of all time. Money is money and we will take what we can get. We still don't know which store he's going to be based out of yet though, or if he will be part-time or full-time.

I am teaching a lot this week, today, tomorrow, and on Friday. And yet another health fair on Saturday. I really want to go see El Vez tonight but I may be too wiped out. I need quality time with my book and S.

Oh yeah, one last thing: years after everyone else, I am finally getting my MySpace page going. Better late than never. I have only invited the creme de la creme to be my friends!!!
