What a great weekend. I did all my favorite things: lounge around, read, went to the movies with S (Eagle Eye--2 1/2 stars), ate an ice cream sundae, slept late... no patrol for me! I have decided that instead of patrolling on the weekends we don't have the baby, I am going to see how I like patrolling on the Saturday nights when we do have the baby. That way I truly have some honest-to-goodness totally free weekends all to myself, and S can watch the baby while I'm gone and I can get in some good nighttime training, of which I have very little. The challenge will be trying to stay up so late since the night shift is from 10p-6am. I don't think I'll last, but I can let myself off at around 4am, perks of being a Reserve!
Everyone swears the Saturday night shift has the most action. My guess is I'll be pulling my gun a lot more. Maybe I can even bring out the scattergun shotgun, poor thing has never seen any action. S took the sheriff's tests on Saturday and did excellent, as always. I called one of the Majors and talked to him about S getting hired on with us. He said to let him know if he could do anything to help. I have a great feeling about this and just hope it all goes smoothly.
Tonight after Job #2 I meet S at the Mezz, where I will have one of their delightful Mezzy burgers while we watch Heroes! Wednesday I am going to start interviewing candidates for the AA position for the High-spanic Health coalition. There's 2 pretty good ones, 2 adequate ones, and 1 who didn't submit a cover letter like we said to. She's at the bottom of my stack, but I still want a good candidate pool. Good help is so hard to find! Pfft!

what exactly is this Mezz you speak so highly of?? some heavenly getaway that combines decadent food and Top 40 TV programming???
seriously, dude, you make me want to live in Houston.
The Mezz is a great neighborhood sports bar that you would totally love. http://www.mezzaninelounge.com/ they have a private room upstairs filled with couches and flat screen tv's and we always hang out in there. Last night the waitress even handed over the remote to us so we could be in control!!! Fun place, good food, good drink specials. And as far as living in Houston goes, you could do a hell of a lot worse! My dad thinks Houston is heaven on earth. I tell you what, there's a shitload of fun to be had here!
when you say "neighborhood" do you mean like it's IN your neighborhood?? like you can walk to it??
Oh no, and that is a bad thing about Houston--be prepared to drive EVERYWHERE since we are ridiculously large and spread out. But to me, "neighborhood" means a 20 min or less drive away!!! Still, the Mezz DID used to be literally right down the (long) street from our old apartment and DH did one time walk home when he thought the Oscars were taking too long, heh. It was prob. ~1.2-2 miles one way. See, we could afford to "rent" in that neighborhood, but we couldn't afford to "own." :-( Most people I know can't!
