It's still a million degrees in this temporary house. The 'landlord' still hasn't seen fit to fix the central heat and air unit. How in the hell does he think that he will sell this place with no heat and air, not to mention all of the other problems with this place?

I haven't updated in a few days. We had a very busy set of night shifts. We acturally had a 'full' shift, which was good, considering the volume of calls for service. We had several 'unusual' calls, but, sorry, I don't feel like fleshing them out here. Suffice it to say, it was a busy week.

As far as our new house goes, they have done alot this week. They got the kitchen cabinets installed, as well as the counter-tops. It looks really good. They also, finally, started installing the siding on the parts that are not bricked. The gas fireplace has arrived and is sitting currently in the garage. Also, they got a significant portion of the hardwood floors laid. The house is really looking good, and taking shape. I can't wait till we get to move in.

I got to talk to my old buddy, Shannon, last night on the one night that thier shift overlaps ours. Shannon works for the Elizabethton Police Department, which I used to work for, before coming back to the Carter Co. Sheriff's Dept. Shannon and I were on the same shift for the longest time, and he was great to work with. He has had some problems with his domestic life over the last year, but he seems to be working through them. Shannon is a survivor, and I'm sure he will do fine. It was good getting to talk to him, though.

Lastly, my Sargeant, and best friend, Tim, finally downloaded America's Army to his computer. We have got to play online together a couple of times on the same server. It has been a blast. He also (due to being a consumate gamer) got me through the final round of the Special Forces Qualification, which has been great. Thanks, Tim!
