I get to work and find that the lot where the Kerry rally was held still had the fence surrounding it and some other equipment in it, (like I said some people) causing us in move everything to the front of another lot. But besides that it was a slow and boring day.

Well, John Kerry came to the Dome today and since security was so tight, (ha, ha, that’s what they want you to think) the other three events: Great American RV Sale, Sports/coin collectors convention and Louiefest were all but shut down. So I got to spend eight hours (hell yeah, can you say overtime) guarding the press/VIP parking lot with a couple of the special service agents. I would have to say the funniest part of the day was watching the Kerry volunteers act like a bunch of teenager girl groupies every time any political person came in the lot. (Sheesh, they are just regular people)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER!
My night can pretty much be covered with these three phases: Wet, hide and go seek, rain won. (Yay, I get to sleep for a whole day)

Did the usually stuff when I got to work and then heading up to the RV lot and was surprised when the guard pulled up in one of the RV show’s electric cart and said that I was able to use it for the night, weather he was lying or not I used it anyway. The cart made patrolling the lot faster and easier. Around 3 a.m. as I was patrolling the lot, I heard some cars honking on the freeway next to the lot only to see that a car was going the wrong way. (Damn, talk about being a good example for not drinking and driving.) It was pretty quiet for the rest of my shift except for the rain.

Got to work around 11:30 pm, talked to the 24 hour guard a little bit then headed outside. It seems Mr. Confused finally figured out how to get to the lot and still no shed (it doesn’t show up either, so don’t expect any guess appearances in any up coming posts). The night wasn’t all that bad, it didn’t rain and it wasn’t cold. I decided to grab a chair from one of the lower lots and read a newspaper in between when I was patrolling the lot.

I got up around 5 pm, made something to eat and started to get ready for work. ( Oh boy!) Around 8, I got a call from the 24 hour security guard at the Dome asking if I could come in early. Apparently the guy who was suppose to come in, got confused and went to Meydenbauer. (go fig) I got there about 9, pick up my work stuff and headed out, when I get up to the lot I’m shocked to see that there is no shed to protect me from the cold and rain. So for most the night I played hide and go seek with the rain. (yeah it won)
One down, three to go.

I have had that same conversation with so many people it just isn’t funny anymore. (Well almost the same I haven’t gone to the point of telling them how much I make. Yet.)

The comic came from Least I Could Do , check it out!
I went with my friend to her job interview at 3 in the morning (WTF is up with that) over at a top secret package warehouse (nah it was just FedEx, but by the security you would swear it was a military base). Got back to her place about 6 am, I crashed on the floor until about 10 am. I left there about 1:30 and came home, watched some TV until about 10 pm and then hopped on the computer. I am totally freaking tired but since I have to work four straight overnights starting tomorrow night ( I’m not about to go to sleep and screw up my internal clock now).
I will try to make a post here and there when I can, although I promise nothing because my schedule for about the next three weeks is :
4 overnights, 2 days off, 3 day shifts, 3 overnights, 2 days off, 1 overnight, 1 day off (My Birthday), 1 overnight, 2 days off and finally 3 day shifts. (I doubt my sleep patterns will ever go back to normal after this.)
