Where is everyone???????????

OK, Dina posted about taking a vacation, but where the heck is everyone else!! The new year must have you all running ragged already!!! Stop by and say HI when you get the chance! We were just getting this board active again! Let's not lose it! Brianna

I've been sooooo busy! It's my last week in the Comm Center. Saturday night is actually my last night, and I start my new job Monday. I had to re-install everything I lost from my old computer crashing to this new computer, and tried to remember and retrieve any old addresses I might have had. I have also had a major upper respitory infection that has caused my asthma to act up again!! I ended up on antibiotics and PREDNISONE of all things to help with the flare ups, and guess what, that has thrown me out of ketosis! But, I've not gained any weight, and I'm down to 171. That is a positive. I had to train over in records Tues and Wed, and really didn't feel like getting on the computer when I got home. They are 3 months behind in traffic accidents and all of them from 2005 have to be turned into the State by Jan 30th!! So, I am doing those with another girl right now to get us caught up. Then, my permenant job will be typing CID and NARC's reports and helping when others get behind. I will also have to work the report window when that lady is gone to lunch, and sell people their reports when they come in. I really can't believe we still only charge $3.00 a report, but that's just my opinion. I think since most of them are repeat offenders and such that constantly owe us money, they could spare $5.00!! Then my DH took me shopping today to get me some dress clothes that don't look like a band of gypsy's moved out of my pants!! Everything was way too big that I had. I have lost 6 3/4 inches in my waist. I've lost 5 inches in my hips. So, I think I'm doing good. Just wanted to update you, and tell you I'm sorry I've not been on. It was heck without my computer, and then being sick afterwards just zapped me. Sherri

Sherri, I bet you are excited about your new job, even though it sounds like you have alot of work ahead of you, catching up on all those reports! Sorry you are out of ketosis, but that is alot of inches to lose, so you must be doing something right!!! Good for you! I will be going shoping next week for some new items, I have got to retire some of the tents I keep wearing (I am too cheap for my own good when it comes to spending money on myself) I have been feeling lousy lately too, nasty cold, (again, the third one since Oct) I went to the Dr today for pain in my arm, he says it is a repetitive motion injury, although I don't know what could have caused it.. still he has me taking tylenol and going to therapy starting tomorrow morning, I just hope it heals quick! Good Luck on Monday.... I hope you are feeling better now, and can get back in to the losing stage soon! Brianna

I'm around, but not feeling too hot at the moment. You're right about the board though. It's nice to see it active. We all need to be able to interact with people who understand what our lives are like. I hope everyone's having a good night. I'm off to do the dishes and go to Carol

Carol, I am sorry to hear you are under the weather too.. defintely something going around!!! We had 2 people call off today (different shifts, at least) goof ball I am , came to work sick the past 3 days, it is my long week, and if I call off, I lose overtime,and can't afford that, plus people got mad at me in Nov for caling off alot, I was really sick then, so now I say heck with it, if they want me here sick, I will be here sick! I work with a bunch of juviniles anyway.. you are right about having others who know what we go through daily to talk to. it can be a great help! feel better!!! Brianna

Hey Brianna, I've been working tonight so I'm here - it's been busy (I love it when we're busy, the time just flies by...) Anyway, I hope you had a great Christmas and New Years. I like this message board, it's nice chatting with other dispatchers. Sheryl

HI Sheryl.. I like when it is busy too, really helps time fly!!! But here it seems overnights are dead.... it is awful! The holidays were great for me.. I hope yours were wonderful as well! I love this board, I can whine and people know know what I am talking about (I hate having to explain my rants to my family ) brianna

Here I am...bringing up the rear! Things have been crazy at work lately with the flooding and fatals all over the place. Good news is that I got my overtime check from December and I didn't realize I worked quite that much, but WHOOHOO, that is going to put a dent in my credit card!!! Dina
