Traveling on Friday

It is the weekend of Memorial Day. This is a big travel day. I wanted to get an earlier start than normal. I went in to work at nine am and I was going by ten am. I was on the road. I wanted to get to Whitman County as early as I could to try to get some extra time to work. The roads were already starting to get a lot more people than normal on them. People were driving five MPH under the speed limit. The people passing those slow drivers in the fast lane were doing about two or three MPH hour faster. So hardly anyone was driving the speed limit. I was trying to drive my normal seven or eight over the speed limit. Once I got onto highway twenty-six it got a lot less packed and I was able to cruise along.

I got to Whitman County at about two-thirty. I went to check on one of the computers that belongs to the commissioners. He had not been able to connect to his e-mail. When I got there one of the other commissioner was there. I talked to him a little bit about my job in Bellevue and the money. Then a call came out for Colfax Ambulance for a transport from the hospital to the nursing home across the parking lot. I went on that. Then when we were there we were told of another transport. I want to get back to the County to get some work in. But we were already there. The transport was to Pullman. We waited for about twenty minutes and the guy was still not ready. So we headed back and I went to work.

When I checked on the commissioner computer it was working. I went to the Sheriff's Office and got one of the deputys' laptops set up with ACCESS access via Spillman. After that I went to the IS building and checked my e-mail before heading to Moscow for my football team meeting. I was thinking about skipping the game in Yakima but some people asked for a ride. I said I would give them a ride. So, I ended up deciding to go.

After the meeting I met up with Ryan. We went to see the Day After Tomorrow. It was a pretty good movie. It is not one I would necessarily buy, but I was not disappointed by it. After the movie I dropped off Ryan and his roommate and went home. I had to be in Moscow in the morning by ten-thirty.
