And so my shortened leave comes to an end. We fly back tonight. I've been pestered the whole time with phone calls about stupid fucking problems. Little things that people in my unit should be able to figure out but can't. Stupid things, that make me think I'm being targeted by my petty leadership. My worthless CO who feels that I insulted him ( Read more... )

I want my passion back. I want my sense of wonder returned. I want that feeling I used to have. When I used to car. When I wanted to do the best job I possible could. I don't know what happened to that part of me. I hate my job. I hate most of the people I work for, and many I work with. So much is expected of me, but nothing is given to me ( Read more... )

So there's been so many things I wanted to post about, but I've been really lazy. I guess I'm allowed to be a little lazy right now. Went and saw Monsters VS Aliens. It was so funny. I was rolling the entire movie. I couldn't stop laughing, even after the movie. It was great. Had to replace the battery in the Gold last weekend, which wasn't ( Read more... )

So today the Porsche officially is not my problem any more. I'd like to say it broke my heart to see it go. I'd like to say I already miss it. But those would be lies. It's been so long since I was able to really enjoy that car. The last time I was able to just jump in and drive it, god it must have been before the deployment. At one point I ( Read more... )

I often find myself watching my cat. As I'm sure every pet owner has done at some point I think "I wish I where a cat/dog. They just eat and sleep all day". But as tempting a thought as that is sometimes, I'm glad I'm a human. I'm sure to a cat, sleeping all day and playing with a little jingling ball is awesome. And I'm sure if I was a cat I ( Read more... )

So things have been horribly busy and stressful. I've been coming in early and leaving late all this week. Hopefully things will calm down soon. I have guarded hope that things will get better. I dare not speak it, cause usually when I do things go wrong. Went and saw 'Watchmen' which i loved. Well except for all the blue penis. That was ( Read more... )

So we just got done seeing Fired Up. Yeah, that stupid looking cheerleading movie. Truth be told it was pretty good. A movie for the ages? Not hardly. But it was a honest, straight forward comedy. It managed to walk a fine road of not being too silly, vulgar, or stupid. Over all it was worth the $5 I had to pay (with my Military discount ( Read more... )

Fall Out Boy recently released a new CD (see title). Being my favorite band, I bought it reviews un read. This is in my opinion the best thing from FOB yet. The music is immediately recognizable as FOB. However it quickly becomes clear that this is not the FOB you're used to. The entire CD takes a more moderate pace to every song. Some of my ( Read more... )

Well here comes 2009, ready or not. I can't believe I've been home for a year. It flew past. So much happened last year. I got married, we went to Japan, I got promoted, I've been swimming in my horrible job. This has been a super hectic year. It's had many highs, many lows. I've had to deal with things I didn't think I had the strength for ( Read more... )

Every time I feel like I'm getting a solid grip on work, something sucker punches me and I feel like I'm back at the beginning. It's so hard just to get my feet moving some days. I get thrown into the middle of so many things that I feel like I can't keep up. As I've often said, I like being challenged. Being challenged in life is important to ( Read more... )
