Well, my baby is leaving for LA tonight. Apartment has been found and he is off to start his new life in the big city. I am so very proud of him, he is following his dream and doing it for the most part on his own. It's going to be a great learning experience for him, I am sure of that. But I can't help getting teary eyed every now and again as I sit here taking phone calls.
I would have loved to take the night off but it wouldn't have been wise after taking three days last week for grandpa's funeral. It is now 6:30 and I am wondering if they have gotten everything loaded up......I hope he remembers to leave the keys.....
Love you, sweetie, drive safe, see you soon.

My grandfather past away at midnight on 8-11-06. I've been a bit numb since my sister called to tell me Saturday morning. It wasn't really a surprise given his health but it's still hard to imagine him gone. Grandma looked so frail on Saturday, won't be surprised if she doesn't last long herself.
It's been a couple days now and I'm still a bit numb. I'm able to have a couple days off this week for the funeral, won't be paid time off but it will be nice not to be here. I've already had two calls where passengers have either lost or are losing loved ones. Those are always tough but tonight they are harder to deal with. At the moment I'm trying to process a ticket for a guy trying to get to his sisters side before she dies. Pretty grim. I feel I could use a stiff drink.
My supervisor did say if I needed more time to let her know but really, sitting here and taking calls keeps my mind off of family problems so I think staying at work is a better idea.

Feel exhausted today, all the filming on weekends must have caught up with me today. Slept until 3 pm and then rushed off to work. I tried to take a nap on my lunch but ended up just laying there zoning in and out. I feel like a zombie.
*yawn* oi......
Perhaps if I got a chocolate bar or something.
Yep....Snickers to the rescue :D
I'm more awake now. Now that I have only three hours left to be here...lol My daughter called me and we chatted a bit on my break. It reminded me how close we are to having B move away for college. It's a bit scary to think about. We discussed getting together before he leaves and trying to fit all of the schedules together. It gets more difficult with all of us working.
Talked to the super about the hours needed to pass probation....ugh...it's over a thousand and I'm at 386....bleah. I'll never get there at this rate. Better start working overtime.
