Last Day



The leaves are from the tree in my front yard. The morning after I got my Kodak M1093 IS I went out and started snapping. I have two days before the IT guy comes to get my first round of photos. I've been in interviews all week...so there haven't been a lot of shoots. But I look forward to using my camera this afternoon and at Mike and Sally's Wedding this evening.

This week of interviewing has been long and very interesting. There have been some amazing people sitting in front of us. A fellow panel member was talking about one particular candidate that graduated from a very prestigious school and had unbelievable experience for her young age. He wondered why she'd want to be a firefighter. I was surprised he asked. Obviously she wasn't just book-smart but knew what elements in her career would make her happy and it was clear the fire service was a perfect fit. I hope she will soon be a new recruit. There were many other fine candidates that left our panel feeling relieved, thankful, and so glad we weren't up against them for our own jobs! Today should be an earlier day. After work the girls and I are headed straight to Forest Park to get re-acquainted with the trails we've missed this week.
