My day is going soooooooooooooo sloooooooooooooooooow. My morning was one interruption after another. I reached the point where I wanted to weep because I couldn't do anything other than respond to "Sally do you have a copy?" on the radio for issue after issue after issue. Fuckers. Leave me alone. It took me hours to read one fairly short fic. Good grief.
And yeah, I'm at work, so it's not like I'm supposed to be reading fic, but it's Friday. And it's the off season and my Fridays are supposed to be easy right now. I should be able to fit in a little bit of fic. But noooooooooooo. Fix this, fix that, did you receive this, did you receive that? Good grief.
My consolation is that Chris is working today. He took a part-time gig at a local garage that needed some extra help. So Chris is working Fridays for this guy for cash under the table. Yay. So now I don't have to get up on Fridays while he just lays in bed. Of course, in another month I'll be getting up on Wed. and Thurs. while he sleeps. But then I'll sleep Sat. and Sun. when he gets up, so it'll balance. But him working 4 days to my 5 annoys me (even if he does work the same number of hours).
Buddy has been crazy snuggly during lunch the last few days. We've been stretching out together on the floor so I can return to work covered in dog hair. But I don't mind. How could anyone mind snuggles with a Buddy?
We finally have the Subaru wagon. Got a new windshield. It's up and running. The clutch catches different than in the truck so I'm adjusting. Chris will be driving it most of the time though, so I don't really care that it feels weird to me. Yay for big space for Buddy to lounge on roadtrips (or even just local drives).
Tomorrow morning I have training with the Flight For Life helicopter so I can get my "lift ticket". This means that if there's an avalanche and we call for Avi service, they'll shuttle us in to the scene on the chopper if there's an available landing zone near the scene. Depending on the location, this can save a LOT of time over snowshoeing or skiing in. We still have to hump ourselves out, but we can get there quickly to start digging. It also sort of counts if we have need to use a military or Forest Service helicopter on a search or rescue.
It's only 2:44. I have two more hours to go before I can leave. I want to leave right now. *sigh*
the daily grind,
search and rescue
