Things are getting better...

Well, after ranting last week some things have begun to change again, only this time for the better. We no longer have a Major on the department; due mainly to a difference of opinions between the major and the chief. Major didn't do anything illegal or immoral, but simply didn't agree on some of the things that the Cheif felt were important. This means that although some of the changes initiated by the major will stay in place, several others will change back to more of how they used to be. I also heard great news concerning an increase in pay. The Cheif put in for $1.50/ hr raise for the entire department. If this comes to fruition, it will definitely make my life a great deal easier. Although I may end up in a higher tax bracket, I will still end up with far more than I get on a regular basis with my current pay rate. I would much rather have the raise than have the department pay for the gear that each person on the department already has. Well, I guess that is the main thing I wanted to talk about. I hope all is going well for everyone. Talk to you all later!
