Came down with the plague (i.e. cold/flu) and have been trying to rest-up so as not to spread it to anyone else. Unfortunately, this plan does not seem to be working as my Mom sickened at the same time as I and Seminary has already acquired it ( Read more... )

So...picking up from where I left off last week:

ThursdayAttended a class through my employer on Managing People Effectively, which was insightful. We primarily looked at engagement and the dynamics of the manager/employee and organization/employee relationship. (Actually, it reminded me a lot of the discussions we had in ROTC regarding ( Read more... )

So, it's been over a month since I last posted. I didn't think it had been that long.

Sorry for the radio silence guys, I just haven't had the energy lately. Hopefully I should have a little more time and energy in the near future as I won't be working until the pool reopens in October. Speaking of which, on to my first topic...

Had a wonderful time at the Reunion and catching up with my relatives. The Tartan idea went over well, and now I just need to find a weaver and get the petition process set up. The trip in a nutshell involved: riding in my Uncle's new Tesla, going to a strawberry farm, spending time with my Uncle and Cousin at the firing range, hanging out at my ( Read more... )

Tuesday:Ran out of Chlorine at work, and while cleaning the empty Chlorine Vats dropped one on my ankle. Got a nice scrape, some bruising, and a ( Read more... )

Spent a wonderful weekend hanging out with jackspade64 and Red doing some much needed catching-up and relaxing.

Drove down Friday afternoon and met up with Jack before heading down to see Twelfth Night performed at the American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse. The playhouse is a recreation of the original Blackfriars Theatre which was the indoor ( Read more... )

Sorry for the lack of posting lately, things have been weird in my head. Too much thinking and general apathy. Probably a result of the house being a mess, not eating right, and not enough exercise. Hopefully that will change soon as I am getting sick of myself ( Read more... )

So...there's a massive leak at the pool where I'm working. We're losing roughly 50,000 gallons of water a day. No one is sure where all that water is going, but there is a bulge under one part of the deck and the ground outside the facility is supersaturated. All of which means that the pool is closed for emergency repairs starting today and ( Read more... )

Had a pretty good Valentine's/Singles Awareness Day filled with lots of candy and cards! Hope the rest of you enjoyed it as much as I did! Also, figured out that Valentine's Day is the first Free Candy Holiday of the year, followed of course by Easter, Halloween, and Christmas.

Talked with jackspade64 about Les Mis and life in general. Other than that, not ( Read more... )
