Hurricanes a coming...

Quick every body spaz out! Hurricane Frances is coming! Lets see this is going to be a short one yall... I have been at work pretty much non stop since Friday morning, with no signs of going home for at least another day or so. Worked at the pd all day Friday, then bartended till two am, went home and was back to work the next day at 1400... I don't think it has stoped since then. I brought a coworker home with me that night (well after midnight,) only to return the next day (sunday morning,) and I have not been home since, it is 2255 (Monday night) now, and I wam scheduled to work till about either four or seven pm tomorrow. Of course I will be allowed to take a nap which I am about to do here shortly. I imagine I will knock off around midnight, as I am due back on at 0800...

About 1.2 million people in Florida don't have power, including my Mom's house and my grandparents (who thankfully have a generator.) unfortunately we live out of the city limits so we have a different electric company. I have to hand it to our city crew, though we have all worked hard through this, they have busted ass! Our city is the only one around that has power, and it has been a nonstop battle. A vicious cycle of trees down in powerlines, and just when I think we have it all up and running again another tree goes down. Then every one who has their power out feels the need to call and tell us... People, yes we know... It is called a hurricane. But through it all, the city guys just kept on going, putting line back up, cutting trees down, restoring power just to get it knocked out again. My hat is off to the city crew! Well it is off to the sleeping bag in the chief's office for me and two others.

Sorry I haven't been very internet lively lately. I felt horrible I actually forgot my logon for a sight I joined just before I went to new York... I was like okay I know my screen name was cute, but I'll be damned if I can remember it... No blogs, no PA, no Lyrical Muse, and probably not going to be able to update again for a few days due to serious weather and cleanup conditions, (that and the lack of power at my house.)

Toodles!
