One of them didn&#8217;t go well, but the other one was going better.  I am actively searching for work in the Seattle area now.  I need a job and I want to get into computer programming again.  I know I can get on some softball teams.  So, I may be Seattle bound in the next couple months.<\/p>\n<p>I went to the fire station to find out where HazMat training was going to be held tonight.  I also had a chance to talk to the guys on B-Shift.  They said they were disappointed I didn&#8217;t get the job.  They were hoping for me to get it. <\/p>\n<p>Around six I headed to station one for HazMat training.  But it was moved to the Deuce.  I went to the Deuce and we went over some new testing kits we got for some biological agents. <\/p>\n<p>Then I went to the softball field for our first men&#8217;s game of the season.  We have had three rain outs.  But tonight we were going to play.<\/p>\n<p>I had a bad time pitching.  I threw thirteen pitches.  Only one was a strike.  Then I went to first base.  We went on to win the game.  I had a hard hit ball down the firstbase line.  I took a step or two and stuck my mitt out.  I snowconed the ball.  I could see it starting to move out of the mitt.  As it started to fall free I barehanded it with my free hand for the out.  I got a lot of people cheering me on for that.  Even some people on the other field saw it and made good comments. <\/p>\n<p>Hitting was a problem.  I had two good hard hits.  I finally hit a double like I did a few years ago.  A solid hit to right-center field in the gap.  It felt good.  I hope to do that a lot this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a couple phone interviews today.
