Well.....here I sit, Still! PaRR has been calling in a few experienced inspectors to do registration at the shelters. Not being one of them, I continue to "coast" here in Shreveport, LA. The latest word is that they are having some kind of problem getting together official badges for all the new people that have not been badged yet. This includes me. They said something about issuing some sort of "certificate". Not sure how that meets the "photo ID" requirement. Bottom line seems to be is that they called in a ton of people in anticipation of a big storm only to have it fizzle and not be as big as first predicted. Now that we are here, they are not sure how to utilize us. If i don't get deployed, I'll be taking a loss over all. All the numbers are not in yet, I'm still tracking the expenses and some are unknown as yet. Counting the expenses for lodging, car rental and food added to the loss of income from work at home, it might be a loser financially. I'll need to take a look when the dust settles and make a decision about doing it again.
Meanwhile, I got to explore Bossier City, a suburb of Shreveport, a little bit today. It's pretty much like anywhere else I've been. One thing is different, there are lots of casinos here. Not my thing since I lived in Reno and Lake Tahoe for many years. Pretty bored with that scene and no spare money to waste on gambling. Been watching a lot of TV since there is not much else to do. The Weather Channel is a popular one. LOL
Tomorrow is a new day, maybe I'll get sent out. Here's hoping.
Later,
Dana
