I live in the boonies and don't have time to not be looking at a book, so amazon is my savior.
I didn't pay tax in Louisiana, but Tennessee I pay super tax for amazon. It suuuuucks.

I now model trans... portation through polymers. Real science and engineering. Hard work only sometimes trumps schmoozing in corporate America, but at least I have my facts straight.

I know the title says 2014, but I figured I'd throw in my update. After being a Police Officer for the past 6 years, I've decided it's time for a change. My wife doesn't much care for my hours nor the crap I have to put up with. So I've decided to attempt to get into IT. It's tough for me though, no degree and I've only got IT experience with the Army. So finding an entry level IT job with no degree has been tough, plus not to mention all of the benefits I'll be leaving behind at the PD. But, I had a job interview the other week and they're hiring me for a one-day trial run tomorrow. There's not guarantee that I'll get hired if I perform well, but they were already discussing sending me to training for Microsoft and CompTIA certifications.

Thanks...I haven't left the PD yet. I did the "trial run" with the company the other week and I'm waiting to hear back from the boss man. He said that he'd be discussing myself and the open position last week and would get back to me as soon as possible. So now it's just the waiting game. The "trial run" went well. I was able to do everything that I was asked to do and I got along with the field technician from the company. Everything seems to be positive, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
