A New Random Ramblin'

Hello everyone. Can you believe it, two entries for the month of November? Whodathunkit? I decided to do a random ramblin' today because I have a variety of topics to discuss today.

Christmas has come early for me. Two weeks ago tomorrow I order a brand spankin' new Dell. It got here a week ago Thursday. It is one hell of a system. It has an 80 GB hard drive, 2.0 Ghz Pentium 4 processor, and 512 MB of RAM. It also has a CD/DVD-RW drive, a 19" flat panel, LCD monitor, and a 5.1 Surround Sound speaker system with subwoofer. I totally love this new system. The sound that the speakers put out is just as good, if not better than any stereo. I was surprised at how good they actually are. DVDs also look really good on this system. This covers my Christmas and birthday in February which is totally fine with me!

I just finished reading my book report book for my reading class. The book was a titled 3000 Degrees: The True Story of a Deadly Fire and The Men Who Fought It by Sean Flynn. The book is the a detailed look into the massive warehouse fire that took the lives of 6 firefighters in Worcester, Massachusetts on December 3, 1999. The book not only gave details about the horrible fire, but also gave a detailed looked into the lives of the six heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice. All in all, I thought the book was great and am glad that I chose to read it. All that is really left to do now is to write up the report on it and turn it in. I might get started on the report this weekend and get it turned in this coming Tuesday. The report isn't due until December 6th, but I want to turn it in early. I am sure that I can score a good grade on the report since that book really interested me.

I do have a bit of an update on the job shadowing at 911. I was supposed to go in and job shadow tomorrow but plans have since changed. The dispatcher that I am going to shadow has decided to take tomorrow off. So, we have decided to put it off for a few more weeks. At first I was a bit disappointed, but after I thought about it, she deserves it. She has been trying to balance work, school, and family. She has also been working weekends all month and most definitely deserves a Saturday off to catch up on some rest and spend time with her family. She and Ihave decided to go ahead and put it off for a few more weeks. We hope to do it sometime on a Saturday in December.

I think that is going to wrap it up this time around.

Thanks for reading.

'Till next time.
