New Years Eve.

After staying up sort of late last night I let myself sleep in a little bit today. I did want to work at the jail today and get some stuff done in preparation for the new year. I got dressed in my uniform and headed in arriving just before noon.

I helped man control and get the doors for the officer doing the meal round. I had several tasks to complete today. I needed to print out three copies of our P&P's. I needed to create a mini-calendar for the year for us to write down when a unit takes late night. I needed to post some new signs about changes for the new year. I spent the day between printing stuff off, getting this ready to print, and posting stuff around the jail. We talked about the issue of whether jail is a deterrent or rehabilitation. Then we talked about a person who was an inmate who also is on the streets. One of the officers was looking for him.

At about four pm I left and went home to change out of my uniform. I was going to hang out with Ryan. I called him up. He did not have any idea of what he wanted to do. I threw out several suggestions and he did not say yes to any of them. Then he would not hold up his end of the conversation. It was like I was talking to myself. So I was getting mad about that and said when he knows what he wants to do to give me a call and I would hang out with him, in the mean time I planned on doing something.

I drove to Pullman and went to my office to work on transferring data from my computer to my new external hard drive. Actually the copying of the data was done. Now I needed to organize it. I had about one hundred gig of stuff to go through. It was scattered all over the place. Several things exist in more than one place so I had to consolidate it down and if something was a duplicate, I wanted to get rid of it. I worked on that for about four hours as well as chat with someone online from time to time.

At about eleven pm Ryan IM'ed me and asked if I wanted to come over and toast in the new year. I said I would. So I went to Dissmores and got some sparkling cider. I went to Ryan's. We listened to Art Bell and played Madden football. We are now in year two. We worked on getting new people drafted and setting our teams up in the off season to get them ready for the new football season. We worked on that until around three AM when I headed home for bed.
