Maybe

Maybe I'll actually finish this time. I always start updating you guys and then get tired or distracted or otherwise decide to scrap it.

Things are going really well with me. I can't really put my finger on why, but I'm the happiest I've been in my adult life. I feel like I shouldn't be very happy, I work shitty hours under oppressive rules. I don't have a girlfriend, or any friends around here really. Pretty much the only people who really talk to me with any regularity are my mom and ex-girlfriends whining about boy problems. And while they're my friends and I want them to be happy, I don't think anyone really likes hearing about how moved on their ex is. At least I don't.

However! I'm still ridiculously happy on a regular basis.

I just got completely derailed having a conversation with Jess about how it's unfair that I can't remember what she looks like naked, but she can remember what I look like. Which of course lead to a whole conversation about my inability to see pictures in my head and I really feel like should end with her taking some naked pictures and sending them to me :p

I think I'll opt out of suggesting that though, girls are weird about such things. Notorious for taking things the wrong way even though I clearly don't really expect her to do such a thing. In fact I'm probably taking a gamble posting it here where she might possibly come read it, but I don't think she checks LJ anymore so we'll have to see.

Um, other than that, I've been pretty much busy with work. I'm 80% done, but I can't do anything else until the plant starts back up. Long story short, we shut down for some planned maintenance, and keep finding other little things that just have to be done before we start back up. So, I have to stand 8 watches and do all the little assorted tasks you do while on watch, and then do my final board. But I can't do anything for awhile. Lame.

I had a super-great 4-day weekend last month, I went down to Austin (the girl) to see Austin (the city). Or something like that. But I had a great time, if you get some time off and feel like traveling, I'd certainly recommend a visit. And speaking of visits, I'm coming to Raleigh for my next 4-day, 2-5 Nov. You should definitely plan on some sort of entertainment revolving around me. Well, not exactly, but I'd like to see you guys while I'm there. Anyway, I'm exhausted like the steam at the outlet of a low pressure turbine, so I'm going to hop in the condenser and get ready to return to the steam generator as feed water in the morning. As you can see, I'm so tired I'm making a terrible nuke joke, and you guys aren't even nukes. Good night!
