One Step At a Time
Lately, time has just been flowing by. Wake up, it hurts. Crawl in shower. Get into uniform. Drive to work. Do one or two ops. Somehow get through it even though I don't know very much. Come home. Zone out, maybe fall asleep ( Read more... ) -
Re-enlisted!
So I re-enlisted in the US Navy today! This Navy job, where I get to work with computers which I like, just has a certain sort of harmony, and it's really been working out well.
