5:47 pm	4 Ambulances, 2 Fire Trucks, 3 Cop Cruisers... and me directing traffic WEll lets see where to start. this has been a long week and is not over yet. I am really tired and could use some sleep. Well monday work.. work and more work. that evening i went to dinner with my grandma and family she is 98 years old. tuesday work. then i drove to new hampshire to be the adult leader for the night for my boy scout troop (this is the troop i recieved my eagle award in) so on route to this place its like 2 hours north of here. Its raining really hard and i am just going along on my way when the car that was in front of me turned making a left hand turn, as i am passing him on the right hand side all the sudden i see the jeep hop up in the air (only about 6 inches) and a tire go roling down the road. so of course i turnt he car around and pull over. this was a 3 car MVA, and the jeep was in the middle of it, someone hit the back of his car and someone hit the side of him (around the engine) there were about 8 people in total in all three vehicles. so i check upon them and one of them appears rather hurt from a head injury, no blood but possible concussion. however among the other cars that stop are a cop and a nurse. the nurse looks after this person, and the cop deals witht he rest of the people. so me and my orange jacket go and start to direct traffic. just for a note this is the second car accident i have seen in less than 2 weeks when driving alone in another state... (note to self stay in MA) so a cop shows up and starts talking with them (this would be another cop) 2 fire trucks end up showing up and 4 ambulances are called to the scene. and a statey and another cop show up. so they just have me directing traffic for like an hour and fifteen minutes (once again with my luck just like last time it is raining the whole time). while i am directing traffic my dad drives by (he was also on his way up to the camp to be a adult leader for the night) so i am like hi and keep on going sir... needless to say he beat me to camp. so i get to camp spend the night wake up at 5 am to leave by 5:15 to get to work ontime. you know its one of those things that if i left 15 minutes later i would be like half an hour late. so work today was fun. had to submit the preliminary paperwork to the red cross for proccessing (basically how many people are in each level. so i am faxing that in and it stops half way. i am like ok. try to fax it again, nope, again, nope, again, nope. so i call them and like whats up. there like let me go check. so they come back and are like well the ink toner is low so it will take about half an hour for us to call the computer technician to come up here remove the old cartridge and put a new one in. so i am like ok (inside i am thinking changing the cartridge aint that hard but i wasnt about to argue) so 45 minutes later i try again. nope, again, nope, again, nope. so i call again... there like he fixing it we dont know when it will be ready. so wait another 45 minutes try again nope, nope, nope. calla gain.. at this time i am like i got to go home soon, so they gave me another fax number to use. so i try it.. nothing answers on that one. so i am like what the heck.. so brought the stuff home. faxed it myself from my home and it worked. yippee. well anyway got a post meeting tonight got to go to that then i sleep.. sleep and sleep. thn work work work. oh and joce and abby and aja havent seen any of you on recently hope you are on sometime soon to say hi.

7:26 pm	Weekend is over Ok well the weekend is over... well basically. so lets do a recap of it. friday saw some friends hung with them for a while, we just did a bunch of random things like go to one of our friends house and play basketball... this of course continued for about an hour after the kid who lives there went to work. we went golfing and hung around. saturday went to vermont went to UVM and visited kim at the cc then went to abby's house stayed the night there went bowling with her and her bro, sunday went to mass with their fam, after mass there was something going on, since we saw like all but one of the rutlands fire dept. trucks going down the road (the other one was going the opposite direction) i was upset i couldnt go... of course since running down the street for the fire would have looked bad. as i drove back however there was an MVA, so i stopped and ended up directing the traffic even after the local PD showed up he was like go over ther and continue directing traffic. so that was fun. was there for about an hour. so I got back like 45 minutes late .... oh that is also with traffic. well now back online and got my AIM to work .... oh and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOCE.

11:25 pm	THOSE DAMN ANIMALS Well lets see what happened today. I think the animals are out to get me. I got up at 10 picked my sister up at 11 from school went out for chinese food at 12. so far so good. went to work at 4ish didnt start work till 5 but needed to go over things with my boss type person... oh wait she is my boss. hehe.. so i was guarding and all went well and Since it was a nice day i had the outside door open let some air in and stuff it was really nice in there. so i am talking to one of the patron there is no one in today to swim. despite it being hot and humid and hazy. so all the sudden i lok up and what do i have i have a bird in the pool so i quickly close the door to the rest of the facility basically in one corner of the building is the outside door, also the emergency entrance for ambulances, the next corner the locker rooms the next corner the door for the bleachers and to the rest of the building and then the final corner is the office entrance. so i close that door and for the next 20 minutes i try scaring the bird out of the building. the roof is like 30 feet up there so i had to use one of the polls with an extension well i almost get it out and it turns around and goes to the other corner of the building so eventually i get it pinned against the wall with the net so i slowly bring it down and put a piece of paper under the net so it wouldnt fly away and bring it outside and release it.. of course by the time i caught the thing it was like 10 minutes after the pool closed. well thats good i came home and was cleaning up because my uncle... and his well energetic kids are coming here tmw and i loose my room.. oh joy so i am cleaning up and then i see a mouse in the bathroom so i caught that and well the things about mice is if you release them they slowly make their way back to the house. so i had to flush it. dont like to kill animals but they get back into the house and they are a health risk the mouse droppings can be poisonous.

10:40 am	WEEKEND Well lets see where do I start abooooot this weekend. Well on friday i went to see evolution in the morning... that is a funny movie i liked it a lot not even close to oscar callibar but juist funny. Then went to see my best friend at his work. He works at the BC pool so of course you have to have a BC ID to get into the facility.... like that stopped me. So i hang out and talk with him and my other good friend. Then go pick my sister up from work and then go to work. Following work I go and hang out with my best friend fred again, we catch up on good times and go and watch a movie. My grandma also had to go to the hospital with pneumonia. she is physically fine but loosing it mentally. Saturday was LGT training so i was at work from 9-5 that day. they had a dance recital at the place so i just pop the video in and go watch the kids are so cute. We were in the pool for like 3 hours and that was sort of tiring. Sunday well i woke up at 8:30 had to be at work by 8:45.... i got there at 8:45 though... hehe (we wont go over the cop that i blasted by and how i am so lucky he didnt come after me). well we were doing deap water backboarding and spinal management. now the submerged spinal injury are fun. because they have to be slowly brought up to the surface. so me and my boss were the victims and the kids had to pull us up... now this isnt that bad since I can hold my breath longer than everyone but one person taking the class. she happens to be a competive syncro swimmer so she can hold her breath a long time. so of course being john and having the luck of the draw she had to pull me out. So the first time she brings me up at a too sharp of an angle so just before the surface she levels out a little and brings me up at a slower rate. so me while i was being brought up i start to blow air out of my nose when i feel that i am close to the surface (those who swim know how you can tell that) so she levels out and i am still blowing air out of my nose and running out of air... no fun there... the second time she tries it she does it perfectly, that means that i was practically turning blue by the time i got to the surface. so the lgt class ends and well i go home. that afternoon I am working at a parish picnic runningt he games for the kids. that was fun, i was however in the sun for 3 hours which is tiring. the kids had a great time and the parents loved me. we would do things like a water balloon toss and i be like ok everyone on this side take a giant step back a small step forward, a small step back, a small step forward, a small step back... you get the picture, or i be like everyone on this side take a step back and do the hookie pookie and turn yourself aroung thats what its all about.. lah lah... well that was fun then went to mass and then came home and watched the SIMPSONS... great tv there.. so far today... that would be monday for those of you who can tell.. i visited my grandma int he hospital she still not realy with it, went to the ice rink went to betucci with my sisteer who is out of school, and stopped by and got my sister a job at my work... (that is currently 3 people from my family working at that place) and now am home only later to go to pick my sister up and then to go to a staff training at my work for this summer... its for the counselor but since i do like everything there (my contract for duties says and where ever my boss needs me, that is not verbatum) so that is my life right now.
