It's okay to cry...I'm from New Orleans (haven't been able to go back to my house yet,) but it didn't really hit me until I went to volunteer at the PMAC. The sadness and desperation is overwhelming. I broke down. My city is ruined.
Well here is the opposite end of the spectrum. some guys from Belle Chase are up here doing some contract work for us. One of the guys brought his whole family. ( he had too, dog included ) I am doing the electrical inspection on the installation. I walked in a manger's offfice our first day back Tuesday. Keep in mine the man lost everything. I wanted to somehow convey the plight of these people to this moron of a manager. I asked him if he knew about the arrangments they had to make to get up here? he said he didn't give a rat's ass if they had to swim up here , as long as the work was completed on time. I just called him something derogatory in cajun french that he didn't understand and walked out. If this guy makes it his entire career with out getting his ass handed to him he will be lucky. I sincerely would not attend this man's funeral if he got run over by a truck. That's sad.
because in 15 years I've seen his type come and go, he is his own worst enemy. burns out quick. and it's wrong to hit retarded folks. :hihi:
I told my friend tonight I'l be glad when August is over. Its been the worst of my life. I nearly ripped my arm off at the lake earlier in the month and my wife had been having to deal with me and take care of all around the house and our young boys. Then last tuesday we find out she has AML Leukemia(my wife). While starting her chemo last friday I had all my friends from New Orleans calling with encouragment and prayers and now this hurricane and I've only been able to find out the status of two of them. This is just all unbelievable! My wife is lying in a hospital bed in Little Rock watching the news constantly. I tell you, it really all puts life into perspective for me. What we have today is so very important because no one knows about tomorrow. My kids and I at dinner and bed time tonight had alot to pray for. My friends in Baton Rouge have 13 family members at their house currently from the NO area who have either no home left or one that is flooded. On top of that their business is located in NO and now dont know what to do about paying bills. This is just unbelivable. I keep telling myself that something good has got to be around the corner. God bless to all and good night!
Hang in there man, hang tough and take care of your babies and wife. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Tiger!
I do not know who, we are giving our room up to but "an American refugee" I HATE that term.In Alex city someone has another night,I wish them the best and I hope others will do the same..:usaflagwa
