Somedays it is never ending.
So, Julie took me on a great, i mean GREAT, trip to denver wednesday night and we had a lot of fun. I think it was one of our best field trips and it made me think that we are doing a lot better then I thought we were.
When I got back in town I realized that I had missed the captain's retirement celebration. While I was planning on going I had only penciled myself in and didn't feel that bad about not going. Now let me say that the Captain is a great man and if I as a good a reputation as him when I leave my final post I think that would be pretty amazing. I am annoyed though because I'm getting the third degree from a couple other officers about not going. I am a part time officer and I have had less than one meaningful discussion with the captain. If it had been so important that I came then I would of thought that the other officers would of asked/made sure that I was planningon attending.
Also since I have gotten a lot better in not stereotyping people right away I have been getting annoyed with people when they stereotype me right away and they are wrong. One of our other officers brought a friend over to talk for a while tonight and she is very much on the left side of the political spectrum I agreed with many points that she made, but I could tell she was classifying me as an idiot american loving slave. Now I admit that I have a lot of love for america and I think in a lot of ways it's amazing what our country does for the world but I know when we make mistakes and am willing to concede that point. But she politely blasted into me because I called the french arrogant. I mean CMON. ;)
I'm also not looking forward to the next 60 hours. I have to work every night and I'm helping a friend move and then packing up and moving all of my stuff.
Oh yea, girls are sooooooooooo annoying ;)
