Day two at my new job wasn't too bad. I had many opportunities to answer basic phone calls and even had a few opportunities to see how 911 calls were answered and resolved. It goes without saying that those times when the 911 calls come in the energy in the room jumps. I got to work with sweet Janet today and I enjoy having her as a supervisor. Aside from the random quiz questions my boss, Steve, gave me, I felt like I came fairly prepared to work after learning all the Ten Codes that are regularly used and even learning a few deputy numbers. Day two I can understand the radio leaps and bounds better then I did day one. Steve said he was going to get me a radio for me to listen to at home to help me better understand the lingo.
I didn't have a chance to do all the homework I had hoped. My plan was to use part of yesterday evening to read through all the stacks of papers I was given. The day ended up packed and chaotic and didn't leave me any room to study. I started the day by watering my garden then headed to Bozeman for a day full of grocery shopping. After a few different stores I promised to take the girls to the park. Just as I arrived I received a pleading phone call begging for me to go into Sugar High and help out. Everyone on the list had been called. I gave the girls a half hour to play and regretfully shewed them into the car and headed back to Ennis. I didn't even have time to put groceries away. Instead, I met Jaret at his work at 6:30 as he was scrambling to pull things together in order to go camping. He took the kids home and put our food away while I worked the rest of the night away. The day wasn't over at 9:30pm when I got home. Jaret was still trying to wrap up work stuff and hadn't found any time to pack. So, I took his list and threw everything I could find together. Then I looked up stories for him to share about his group "representative", Lorenzo Snow. By this time it was midnight, the house was a disaster (still is), and I had no more brain juice left to make it worth even attempting work study. I was even pooped this morning. I am definitely one of those people who needs her sleep.
With that said, I guess I should go to bed now. I'll study in the morning....I hope.
