Louisiana Bound:::::::::: shit!!

Howdy folks.. got the call today about flooding in Northern Louisiana. Heading out to an unknown location (likely Shreveport) on or about Nov 5th, a nice month off. Looks like only two of us in the IT group so it is either going to be very small or we are going to work a ton of hours. Have no idea how long it will take.. hopefully it is a better thing than any part of Katrina.

More information as it becomes available...

Not Going Back

Hi readers!! Ok... I came home for a rotation.. a kind of vacation you get after 45 days on a disaster. I was going to be here ten or eleven days and head back. I got home and got some relaxation in and then called my boss down there before making reservations and found out they did not want me back. I am ok for future deployments but had a little personality issue with the deputy Federal Coordinating Officer and of course he won! So I am being punished by being sent home to play! I love my job.

It was on balance a good disaster. Pretty well run, things went on schedule a lot better and the smaller size made so many things manageable. six weeks gone was about the right amount for me and on balance it was a positive thing.

I amm home for awhile.. likely not to post till I get called again. Thanks everyone that read my El Paso Adventure.
