Well I seem to be doing better with my spanish. I had to call one of the guys from sanitation on the radio, and figured I would try in spanish. And it worked!! The guys actually understood me.
Now I have no idea if they were being polite but the guy who called me back said "very good spanish!".
It's been difficult for me to learn what I have so far but I can only get better by using what little I know.

Well it's Saturday, and I'm at work for four hours. It's been an interresting day so far. We are in the process of changeing out emergency power over to an independant server. But the maintence dept has taken over the radio system to do so. All I hear is internet commander to....
echo,alpha,delta,echo,etc,etc. It's acually kinda funny to listen to. I learned a new trick today as well. The gate we use is on a remote control so I can open and close it from the guard shack.
But when the power is off I had no way to open it. Today my boss informed me she wanted me to "figure it out". Which took me about 10 seconds.
Anyway, Becky, her dad, and I are going to see the foliage up north hope I can stay awake long enough.

OI!!!! What a day and it's still not over yet! It started out with Becky and I going to pick up one of the kids she sits for so we wouldn't have to wait for the mother to drop her off. We were on a limited time scheduale and had to pick up a gift for Brenden one of the other children Becky sit's for. I had to leave for work at least by 1:00pm to get to work.
Ok so we get to Destiny's house and she's not ready yet, finally she is in the van and we need to get gas because we're almost on empty. Then we're off to Myer to get the birthday presant. And I needed to pick up a couple things for my desk.
So now we have everything and Becky blood suger decides to crash. And needs something to eat. It's now 12:30 and it's cutting a little too close for comfort. We finally get home and I head for work it's now 1:15 I got to work at 1:35 and begin my rounds to get my numbers of the 8 meters that are spread across the plant which has to be done on foot.
Now back in the guard shack to take over, at 2:05 pm. My Job now is to monotor the 300 plus people leaving the plant watch the plastic bags leaving and to stop the people who do not have clear plastic to check them, answer the insistant radio calls, give directions to the plant to the truck drivers, tell new employees where to go, tell the applicants where the applications are, open the gate for management and others coming and going check paperwork for cash and carry customers coming and going to and from the plant, checking the sales people in and out visiting management, checking in all the truck trailers coming in to make sure they are clean, check the trucks coming out make sure the paper work is correct, check the seal numbers, the QA numbers, write down refer tempertures. transfer all the numbers from the previous two shifts into the computer, answer the CB Radio, lock up the office building at night, and on friday night walk around the whole building and make sure it is completly locked up for the alarm system to be activated, run fire drills, tornado drills, reset alarms when they go off, know all the security systems, and where they are, and what they are. answer the alarm company when they call and beable to give them my security code and know what alarm is going off and why. Attempt to keep saftey problems within a reasonable limit. Which includes speeding inside the gate which is 5 mph, 25 mph up the driveway into the plant and 10mph in the parking area which is ok if I get a chance to see the cars leaving normally will remember a discription of the car and tag it the next day. During all of this I'm suppose eat supper.

A little red in the face today - Someone decided to post a Pastor appreciation for me in one of my groups. http://groups.msn.com/aidnet. Although, I really appreciate the kind words. I have a tendancy to have a hard time with compliments. I do what I'm good at and that is teaching what the Bible say's we are to do. I have always enjoyed teaching the Bible and I pray never changes.

It's going to be a tough month. I'm trying to take things as they come but it has not been easy with the lack of sleep, and pain in my back and knee. I'm having a difficult time staying focused on the things I need to get accomplished.
I'm taking the rest of the month away from my mpd group because I don't want to run the risk of hurting someone. As most of the members there are from the same background I am. But from the opposite side of my position there. It has scared me to think that I may one day run into a slave that I may have had contact with.
