NEUROTIC AND LOUD NOISES

I have always been sensitive to noises especially loud noises. Needless to say they are doing repairs to our apt. bldg. Right now they are sand blasting and they started at 8am. Most people are at work and would come home to peace and quit and a little more work done but I work swing so I sleep later than most. Sandblasting is extremely loud and you cant even hear the TV. I have headphones in and can barley hear them. Thank GOD for Frosty Heidi and Frank. 97.1 free fm is always good for laughs. My 1st thought today was to go cut there hose so they cant work but instead i called a friend and went to breakfast. The headphones are working somewhat but i want to go back to sleep. I drive all night and lack of sleep is dangerous. The up side to this is the owner is putting everything new in our apts, dishwashers, new drywall, paint, carpet, kitchen bathrooms,ceiling fans,central air. The benefits out way the inconvenience of having to move into a new remodeled apt and putting up with the noise. Ho HUM.

A week in reflection

It has been a good week. There were a few snags along the way like getting a speeding ticket and a parking ticket in the the company car and all in the same week. I had a officer walk off post but not before disrespecting me and turning it into a race
thing . I don't know what his problem was but it seemed to me he brought it from home. Safe to say he wont be employed with us any more. I spent the week learning where all the accounts are and getting to know my officers. I visited about 40 officers or more and only one bad apple so over all it has been a positive week. My training officer and another field inspector in training and I all clicked well. We got today off with pay and have an 8 hour training seminar at 9am tomorrow. Tuesday I will be turned loose on my own and looking forward to it. I'm not real familiar with downtown la or bentwood area but ill pick it up. Peace and Love to all.
