Work was fine....actually, it was some sort of Hell. I was up on the Desk as usual, and I also had to take the augmentees around on the bus and post them solo. No big deal, I got it all done before they were supposed to be out on the gates. I get back on the Desk, and it was one thing after another. We had a 911 hang-up, an actual 911 call, 2 in-flight emergencies, a ground emergency, and to top it off, a 3 year old girl wandering around Bethel Manor with no shirt or shoes on, all alone. Some parenting. Turns out the father was at work, and the mother was sleeping, and the kid decided to go outside, and forgot where she lived. All this happened in about an hour or so timeframe. GS and I were on the radio and phones like we had extra limbs, it was quite amusing after it all died down and we looked back on it and shared it all with the Flight Chief.
After work, I went to the gym. Back day. I went light, seeing as how my back is my problem. I started to go a little heavier towards the end of the workout, just to see what my limits were. I'll leave it as "pleased".
After the gym I came home and showered, then got ready for my business meeting. Picked up NR along the way. Met a few really cool higher ups in the business. Guys that have been doing this for a few years, and are reaping in the fruits of their labors so to speak. Good times. I can't wait to get to the point they are. I'm so excited.
Got home after the meeting and went to bed. Not too long after I fell asleep did JR come home. Woke me right up. stomping through the house like she was the only one there, turning lights on and only shutting the doors part way, so the light hits me right in the face lol. Thanks. Then, she's typing on the keyboard like her fingers weigh 50lb's each. I finally got up and shut the doors myself. I know I am probably not the quietest person when I get up to go to work in the morning, but I make a valiant effort to be as quiet as humanly possible. Maybe it's a lack of consideration on her part, or maybe she's just oblivious. I finally went to sleep shortly after she crawled into her bed.

Work was more Hellish than yesterday, and that didn't seem possible!!! First, I was on the Desk with an assistant that had no clue what to do up there. So basically, I was at the helm alone for most of the shift. Things were pretty quiet until about 1000 or so. Thats when shit hit the fan. We had a Helping Hand, which is when some idiot goes into a restricted area without being pre-announced. That guy got thrown out of his vehicle, cuffed and stuffed faster than he could have imagined. When they brought him up to the Desk, he told us that he had no clue what he did wrong, and that he was new....his superiors neglected to tell him the procedures for the area. Then, we get a call from the Tower saying that a brown in color SF (security forces) van just cut off an F-15 on the active taxiway. I handed the phone off to one of my superiors and stood back as he reamed her out. You see, we don't own any brown vans in our entire vehicle fleet. It's just that anytime something happens on the flightline, it's automatically the cops that did it. I hate that. So after correcting her, which was quite hilarious to listen to, there was a minor vehicle accident where a woman backed out of her parking spot without looking and rear ended some other guy's car. Nothing big.
Came home after work....no gym today. I'm sore from the first couple days in the gym. Need to heal and recuperate a little. I'll probably go tomorrow. Nothing else really going on worth mentioning at this point. My pizza's here. Time for my one cheat meal this week. laters.
