The new year has begun

Nothing much as happened worth writing about thus far since the year has begun. So, instead, I’ll do a quick recap of things that happened since my last missive.

Jessica and I had a very travel packed trip around the country so that we could be together over the holidays. I drove for [...]

Quick update

With the holidays fast approaching I’ve got a glut of information to go through before I leave for the break. We’re going to have classes and assignments through the weekend until the early part of next week. After that, I’m going to sit around and wait to leave. We’re doing a cross-country Christmas this [...]

Something different every day

We’ve hardly had any real downtime since I’ve been home and it isn’t a bad thing. We’ve been busy hanging out with the extended family, attending weddings, playing with the dogs, cleaning the house, and we’ve been having a great time doing all of that. We won’t have any slow days until sometime next [...]

Filling the days

I’ve been adept at filling my days at work. We’ve had a constant stream of traffic coming through the door and whenever we find a lull we create additional traffic. For the last week I really haven’t had time to do anything at work but sweat and work. (our a/c is on the fritz… [...]

Award Winning Stupid

I work for three stupid people. They aren’t any brand of stupid, they are award winning stupid. I’ll refer to them as R, S, and O. (they might search the inter webs thus the anonymity).

O wants everything done immediately and doesn’t understand that we cannot do everything at once. He screams mission at [...]

Additional details

A few weeks ago I wrote a single post titled approved. Here is the rest of the info.

Over the last six years I’ve been dreaming of ways to exit my current career field and continue on in the military while doing a different job. A few weeks ago my wish was finally granted. [...]

The process is a little different this year

For the last two years I’ve traveled north with the Loveless clan to spend the Thanksgiving weekend in cold and occasionally snowy B.C. We ran dogs, played pool, board games, and ate as much of Paula’s food as we could cram down our gullets.

This year we’re spending Thanksgiving at our home but [...]

Feeling a little bit restless

On Saturday I woke up feeling like death warmed over. Jessica started feeling like garbage on Sunday morning. Since that time, we haven’t been able to do much. Sure, we scrounge for some food and leave the house to get the necessary supplies but we have to trade turns with the walker/shopping cart that [...]

Another month in the dark

I was up until 6AM watching bad television and bits and pieces of movies. I tried to keep myself entertained throughout the night and I also tried to keep myself jacked up on caffeine so I could keep on keeping on. Why subject yourself to late night torture? I’m heading back to working graves [...]

It's Mine

These past two weeks have been probably the most stressful weeks I’ve ever been through. About a month ago I was notified about an official position in my lab, with my exact job duties. Basically they are getting rid of my intern position and giving the production team another official tech. There was also [...]
