  1. 83 Yr Old Grandson

    One of the joys of dispatching is exposing the occasional liar that calls in for towing using grand-dad's membership number and pretending to BE granddad.

    Calltaker Nikki had such a person and I knew she'ld put him in his place and to my disgruntlement--nope--passed him to me. This dude needed a flatbed to boot in an area where I wouldn't have one for an hour at least.

    So I thought I would get out of it by calling him on the age question. Phone rings, he answers and ...

  2. Almighty nothingness

    by , 12-21-2006 at 07:46 PM (Barmy Blue's Bland Blog)
    Ah, what a day of nothing really. I slept in until I'd slept on both sides for so long that they both hurt.
    I wrapped another present for mum, in a shoe box to disguise the shape .
    Mum got me some slippers for dad (Because I wouldn't know what to get him ).
    Mum and I watched Bruce Almighty. I never got to see the whole film before (We saw half o fit in RE once) and now we're watching serendipity.
    Not much else I can say for today.
    Today's chocolate is a

  3. Hawkeye is Alive

    New Avengers 26 came out--actual Avengers 529 but who's bitter right? Especially since my beloved Avengers set were sacrificed last February due to own shortcomings/stupidity and I needed money in a hurry.

    Anyhow my favorite Avenger Hawkeye is alive and doing interesting things with Wanda (shades of Avengers 99) and this is the best Christmas present thus far.

    The war is over with 2026--young Monica is a happy camper, I doubt Mike remembers grumping and the world ...

  4. X factor

    Oh the boredom (Imagine I've inserted a dramatic groan here).
    Today the school has been doing it's own version of the X factor.
    First our class had to stand around outside the hall because we got there early. Then we had to wait for (What felt like half an hour) while everyone came in and sat down. We were at the very back. The hall was freezing (As is my form room, so my hands are all purple and blotchy and the joints in my fingers are stiff).
    We had to watch an opening video

  5. House--Rerun-Argh

    Against all reason Tuesday at work was not the bear I expected to maul but this balanced by the stomach ache I've had since 4 am this morning.

    No fallout from yesterday's argument with 2026. They had only one call from me tonight and Brad and I have known each other for years.

    Jim still wants to pursue the custody case by filing and then having Clark Cty subpoena him. I asked ex-cop Bob/dispatcher partner about that and he says it can be done but watch him miss ...
