Let's Get You Up to Speed (part 1).....

Because I have a few days before my journey really begins, what I want to do is go back, go way back, back into time.....

Well maybe not too far...how about 2003. I remember it clearly. I was sitting in the News Room at News 12 in Chattanooga. Sure I should have been working, but no, I was reading a newspaper (from a paper I would be working at later on down the road) from a big stack. I don't remember the section, but there it was...the new Chattanooga Fire Recruits demonstrating a live burn. I don't remember their names, but the article had them all listed. I thought to myself, wouldn't that be neat...having my name printed as one of the next firefighters for the City of Chattanooga. I finished reading the article, put down the paper, and found the nearest computer. To the internet I went. Finding as much information as I could on how to become a Chattanooga Firefighter. It sadly came to an end when I found out that....you had to live in Tennessee. Well that wasn't going to work...I just bought a house in North Georgia...Well one can dream right? If there was only a way...My mind kicked into gear, well maybe there is a way....

(to be continued...)

So you admit that you were not actually working while at work. I take back my recommendation.
