I just found out that my mom lost her job today due to a reduction in the workforce. I wish there was something I could do to help her.

I got a 92.5% on my practical (troubleshooting equipment) - the highest in my class and I got a 100% on my written test! I'm currently number 1 in my class, we'll see if it holds. I have another test and practical on Monday and a written on Thursday, but they shouldn't be too hard. The tests I already took are supposed to be the hardest in the ( Read more... )

The last few weeks have been pretty stressful. I started school on the 17th, which ment I had less time to do all the crap that needs to get done for the move that was supposed to be Dec 12 and I'm still going to physical therapy.

Luckily, my foot is doing better from the door incident. Primary Care finally sent me to Orthopedic Podiatry because ( Read more... )

After weeks of nothing interesting going on, I have something interesting to say.

I started C school on Monday. They started by giving us a stack of 9 technical publications (one was basically 2 books side by side attached together that should really count as 2 pubs) that are all really thick. It's really not so bad, we're learning where to find ( Read more... )

So as of yesterday Eric and I are officially married. Yeah, it's a lot sooner than December 22 like we were planning, but we're still doing that. I found out that the Navy won't pay for Eric to move out here unless we're married before I start class. So luckily he has the coolest pastor in the world and really helped us out with this. Surprisingly ( Read more... )

It's almost election time. I'm very concerned for my well being since the new president has complete control over my life...I hope things bode well for us ( Read more... )

So my foot seemed to be getting worse the past week or so. I had an MRI Sunday night and I'd been getting worried from all the speculation that people have been making on my foot. If I were to need surgery I'd get put on medical hold and wouldn't be able to start my C school or take leave in December. Needless to say, I was concerned. Well, ( Read more... )

Saturday I went to the San Diego zoo with some friends. I'm still on crutches, so we rented a wheelchair and Chambers pushed me around all through the park. It has a lot of hills that are pretty steep so sometimes we called the free shuttle, but it was a lot of fun. And I got to see the pandas! That was the best part ( Read more... )

I finally found out the official dates for Christmas Stand Down, the end of the work day Dec. 19 to 0730 Jan. 5. So that blows everything I had planned on the 19th out of the water. And my flight almost doubled in price and since there aren't any earlier flights I'm leaving at like 10:30 pm and arriving in Michigan around 11:30. To top everything ( Read more... )

Holy crap! I'm behind on stuff in Michigan, but this is crazy! Apparently Obama was all buddy buddy with Kilpatrick until he got charged. My science fiction has enough political drama that I totally get why he distanced himself like that even though it was a totally shitbag thing to do. But the new commercials someone made in the metro area sound ( Read more... )
