Not much to say really. The first week of training is over with. We got into the billing parts and it is quite complicated. I was very proud of myself when I got the answers to the workbook questions on pro-rating service right. I admit I did get frustrated though. It was the same frustration I get with balancing my checkbook, the feeling of doubt and helplessness that I can't do it. But I did do it, and I was right too. Even better. I know that once I get a hang of it all, it will be an incredibly valuable skill to take with me, as billing is pretty similar everywhere you go.

Later today we will be going over to my parent's place to watch the Red, Hot, and Boom display of fireworks. They always do it the day before Independence Day, because of the rules of the displays and stuff in this area. The display is at a park with a man made lake near the mall, and my parents live across the street from the mall so we just pull out chairs on the sidewalk and look up at the display. We'll have to leave asap because we have to get to shyystarr's birthday party. She doesn't live that far from my parent's but the traffic is atrocious before and after the display, which is one reason we will be going to my parent's place and hang out a few hours prior. Leaving will be hard, but if we leave as soon as they end, we should get a 5-10 minute head start (while others get to their cars) to beat the traffic. We hope.

I hope Chas gets home soon. I want to see our new laser disc player that arrived earlier this morning. Our new dvd player arrived the other day and it is so small compared to our other one, and our old laserdisc player is monstrously large so this should be an improvement also. The current one was one for school use with no frills. The infotainment omniplex is growing and shrinking at the same time. Heh.

Guess I should try to finish reading as many posts and emails as I can while I wait for him to get home.
