The past few days have been interesting but in the same thought… there’s really nothing new going on. On Monday the other dispatcher that we recently hired needed to quit during her lunch break because she has personal matters going on, but it kind of left us high and dry. Then yesterday one of our inputters looked at my supervisor and said “Yea, I guess I’m done here, I found another job”. I’m more amused with how he put it than anything. Who seriously says “I guess I’m done here” that isn’t a super hero lol.
On the drive to work yesterday I wound up getting pulled over. It was entirely my fault but at the same time it still sucked major ass. I was clocked doing 55 in a 40 and typically when I’m on that road I tend to do 50 with the rest of the flow of traffic but this guy singled me out and that just wasn’t very nice of him. The ticket is for $175 which is bogus but the issue of having points on my liscense just bothers the absolute shit out of me. I’m sure I’ll get over it, I have to pay for it either way because it’s not worth arguing it – by any means.
I’m waiting on my stuff to come in from Amazon and DecalGirl so I can start to deocrate my new laptop. The plain black is kind of boring and I’ve made it a point to keep the protective plastic on it just so I don’t have to ever worry about it getting scratched up. I do know that the nylon case that I ordered was shipped out yesterday so at least I’ll have a safer place to keep it. For now I’m using a sleeve from a purse that I purchased from target, it’s for 15″ laptops but it’s holding the mini with no major issues. I just want to be sure it’s property protected considering I intend to use it for as long as humanly possible.
I did also order myself an old school backpack. With the way my back has been treating me lately it was time for me to get rid of my bulky purse and just deal with the one bag to cover everything where it isn’t so much of a strain. I’ll then downgrade myself to a much smaller bag on the weekends just so I don’t have to truck my laptop around everywhere.
So yea – that’s pretty much all that’s going on right now. I’m honestly not even in the mood to blog but I’m trying to get myself back into the habit of writing up regular entries just so I can get back into floating around the web.
web site super, thanks..
Sucks about getting pulled over. That can ruin a day.
“I’m trying to get myself back into the habit of writing up regular entries just so I can get back into floating around the web”
I know the feeling, getting back into the swing kinda felt soul destroying for me… but thats because i was trying to revive an old blog of mine… instead I just got rid of it and started a new.
Obviously don’t do that though haha!
and as for the $175 for speeding, is it that much as an option to pay more and have no points? or are there points too? if points too then jeez thats a lot… I’m from the UK you see so you don’t have an option like that.
I believe I’m going to wind up having like 2 points or something like that. I’m actually going to figure out how to talk it down to something minor considering I’ve never gotten one before and I was extremely late to work. I pass by the same cop every single day on the way to work because he parks on the same street every morning. I was always doing the speed limit, never had to worry about me before. It’s just not fair to instantly have points because of ONE really bad morning.
