so stupid fema (federal emergency managment agency...for all of you who dont know), is making us wait to start working, because they cant agree on a set price for the trailors that are going to people. Now normally I would just say its burocratic nonsense, but THE TRAILORS ARE SITTING IN VACENT LOTS WHEN PEOPLE NEED HOMES. PLUS I NEED MONEY!!
haha...so its just more free time that i get to enjoy down here in the gumbo capitol (it was a question for millionaire today). Its getting collllld now (like 40 degrees...maybe even as low as 30!)..its funny to see people freaking out about it being so cold, and snow...i wouldn't even mention the word. Its a joke compared to back home in Michigan where i know they just got a shitload of snow dumped on them.
Pedro (our cuban compadre) has left. he just took off one day. He drives an 18 wheeler and his tags were about to expire. Now normally this wouldn't be a problem because you can just not drive it, but his plates are florida, so he had to drive back there. I think it cost him almost $1000 in diesel, which he had to get a freakin loan for!
So now we are down to three people...but we have added two animals to the mix. Bobby got a dog named Anna (after Louisiana...lame I know). She is a cross between a chow and something else, and looks like a mini german shepard.....and i got a cat! I named him Charly Muphy lol. Hes white with some orange spots on him. They are both really people orinated, mostly because they are believed to be storm animals (from katrina).
Apart from all that...not too much is going on. We all have started working out on a regular basis at this club that i kinda near to us, which fills up some of the free time, but all i really want to do is work!
Alright time to go watch a movie. Miss you all back home.
