Hey stranger!!

Is there a new job on the horizon or was the newspaper just wearing you down? When you used to write about all the antics it made seem like a stressful job at times.

Yeah, I think I was pushed. One too many deaths, too much running towards sirens instead of away from them. And even if that had been okay the office environment was killing me.

In my typical fashion I opted for something a little more active, I'm joining the Navy on the 27th.

Wow, I was surprised and then I wasn't. It's sounds exactly like you. In the short time we've known each other your life has been highly interesting and diverse and your choices have been rather bold and filled with wanderlust.

I read further down that you'll be a Communications tech. I PROMISE not to make any Bec/Dee comparison jokes. :P

Well, in some ways it's like me. It's like the me that talks trash and acts big across fandom.

Like the me that works an office job after a disastrous stint OS? No, not so much. It had a lot of my RL friends reeling - but they've come good and they're behind me now.

Well I did apply to be a 'badarse bitch goddess who gets to ride flyboys' but alas, that job category is already filled.

Hi. *waves*

I was going to ask the same thing.

Yup, I'm joining the navy - no, please, hold your laughter. I'm serious.

I'm the last one to laugh. I'm joined the Army at 29. I'm still not over it. Anyway, Congrats!

HI there! Long time no see!

I hope you are moving to better things and a better job?

I am! (I hope) it's all a little scary at the moment, but I think I'm doing the right thing. I guess if I already knew how it was going to turn out it wouldn't be nearly as exciting, right?

The original RS discussion forum has closed down. No new stories are being added either. There's a new, 2nd one, but it's just not the same.
I wished you a happy birthday back on your birthday. That's about it.

Actually, looking back at it, I was a bit late about the birthday, but hey, I remembered eventually.

Woe indeed (although I know I've missed a few goodbye dos because, well, there was news to deal with).

So, moving on to pastures new? Anything exciting?

Actually, yes, very exciting. Joining the Navy as a Communications tech. Utterly shocked the socks off family and friends. But if I can't be indecisive and flighty at 24, when can I?

Plus (puts on her mercenary hat) the money is awesome.

Hold on - haven't you been writing Navy-related fanfic? And can I hear echoes of piloooots there?

;)

Go for it, girl!

Yes, I'm itching to see if I can rock the dogtags Thrace-style.
