I don't know what the hell kinda crud I got, but it's time for it's eviction notice. I've had the sniffles and a bad cough since Christmas, which morphed into the flu last week. (Although I was feeling bad during training and through the bonspeil, but that might have just been the really horrid trainer we had. Holy Cow! I swear it was nothing ( Read more... )

I had a great thanksgiving over at

I'm now in Virginia!  After a month in WI, which was both boring and hectic, I have made it.  Home Leave was mostly a lonely affair, for some reason all my friends seem to have missed that I was back home and then tried to guilt trip me about it when I was on my way out.  "Oh, you were only home for a short time" um, no, I was home for a month.  " ( Read more... )

So it's that time again. Where I pack up all my stuff and say goodbye to it for about 6 months. Thankfully, this time it's been actually a lot easier. I didn't get my packout panic until Wednesday of last week and considering they're packing me out this coming Wednesday that's pretty good.

It's pink and it's 8gigs, and that is because that is all they had. LOL. Good thing I kinda like the pink ( Read more... )

My brother needs to learn to keep his stupid yap shut. Honestly, it's a good thing that boy doesn't have a security clearance the way he can't keep a secret. Even his own. Which goes into why I'm mad at him right now.

My big boss (BBM) has invited all of us to join him on Twitter. I have issues with this, that I've been mulling over for like a week now after my initial attempt at explaining it went awry. (Seriously, it's kinda hard to explain that the reason you don't want work knowing about your twitter identity is because you don't want to out yourself as a ( Read more... )

It's a new skill but not so much a new hobby. It's more of a tangent, one my brother likes to make fun of (though not nearly as much as the writing of the gay Jedi porn. He STILL thinks that's hilarious). Then again, my brother in general likes to poke fun at me, but since I give as good as I get I'm not bothered by it ( Read more... )

I just got back from the GREAT indian adventure with Mom.  She came out for 3 weeks.  We went all over the place, up to Darjeeling for a few days to sure the Himalayas.  We got up ssuper early top see the sunrise over Kenchendonza, the 3rd largest mountain in the world.  Mom still swears it was Everest.  I decided to let her keep her delusions.  It ( Read more... )
