Line of Best Fit
I'm starting to get stir crazy, it would be great if a PO called me or emailed me or invited me, k thanks. Sorry for the rant, but im coming up one my one year anniversary from when I started my PC application and the waiting is starting to take its toll. To make things even better I've had bronchitis for the past week. Anyway I made the last payment on my guitar center card last week which felt really good, one less bill. Hope all you guys are making progress on your applications. -Tom

La Cienega Just Smiled
Just got off work, four day weekend check! This couldn't have come any sooner. For the past three days I have slept the entire day away in between work to shake this nasty head/chest cold I have had. I think my body is still warn out from the week long trip to the BVIs.
Anyway back to the daily grind! When I came back from the trip I had an email from placement telling me they were reviewing my file finally! They needed an updated resume and skill addendum so hopefully that goes well. I am embarrassed to say however that the congressman from my district the "Honorable" Cliff Stearns is going to be speaking on the capitol today to propose to amendments, both of which have to deal with cutting Peace Corps funding. This is no surprise as Cliff Stearns has never been a champion of public service but also very upsetting as he represents a district that has one of the highest rates of Peace Corps volunteers. To me this does not send a good image of representing your people. So later today I will watch CSPAN and throw food at the TV while he speaks to an usually empty house.
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. Since I had to work last weekend I will surely make up for it lounging by the pool and blowing up some left over fireworks.
