good evening friends,

i have been pretty busy lately. we have yet to hire a replacement for matthew. this means that i am doing all of my job and at least half of matthew's. tommie (my remianing coworker) has been pretty tied up with his projects, leaving the incoming service to me. we have had a few applicants with no viable candidates so far.

the last guy we interviewed had been fired from one of our competitors because he was arrested right off of a job site for outstanding traffic warrants. this had resulted in a suspension of his driver's license. it is difficult to test and inspect fire alarm systems unless you can drive to the buildings they are protecting.

the polls for the governor's race that prompted my change of parties have had the candidates trading the front position by narrow margins. it will be close. maybe my one vote will tip the scale....

second attempt at publishing this. does anyone else use firefox? i had to go back to internet expolrer to publish this
