I am from NY, so I am not crying. But when the normal temp for this area, this time of year is in the 50's, we were not totally prepared at home or at work for the drastic low in the area.

psh - crying

Guess what? I know you are crazy too! At least the sub zero temp is not going to wash you house away! Now as long as my place is not threatened........I'll go with the sandbagging.

I'm gettin' there.

The girlfriend and I had a pretty heated argument last night. I have that gut feeling that this relationship is probably reaching the top of the hill pretty soon but only time will tell.
 
My friend and I decided we're going to see avatar in imax 3D on saturday. However he insists on bringing his girlfriend and not having just a bunch of the guys go. Leaves me to find a date by Saturday.
 
I am so bummed. After not taking any college classes in several years, I had scheduled myself in for two classes this semester, which started today... Cardiology (again, because after 9 years, I forget and just wanted to go again) and a Ropes class (focusing more on the climbing side than the rescue side). Both are cancelled... one for budget reasons... the other for low class size. :sad: I was so looking forward to them...

geez man with that schedule will you have time to go out? bahahahaha oh wait whats wrong with me there is always time to go out. especially in STL
 
To take Fire Fighter I/II or to just stick with my Mandatory Fire certification? That is a good question. Some would claim its a waste of effort (since I start college in the fall, and after that I'll only have breaks). But at the same time I've always said theres no such thing as too much knowledge. Hmmmmm... I'm just gonna throw that out there if anyone has any comments to help or discourage me.

I would look at what is required for the certification at the FF1/2 level as of the first of the year. I finished mine last year before all the changes took place. Among the new requirments are Hazmat Awareness,Ops, Sids, Autism, and I think a few others before you can even take FF1. The bar was just raised as it should be. With the new requirements you are not permitted to test until you have your certs for the prerequsites in hand(4-6 weeks after you finish prerequistes with the way IDHS has been running). I dont know how many or what certifications you have already but most instructors will not even let you start a class unless all your prerequites done. Gone are the days of DHS holding your cert until you get the other requirements satisfied. You may want to look before you leap.
