updates of a sort
I have a lot of EVE writing to do. I've got 20 missions stories set-up and ready to go...I just need to plug in the information. This particular developer I have isn't anywhere near as communicative as my first one, so we shall see how things turn out.
Motivation levels to write ANYTHING, however, have been at an all-time low of late. I am testing for the job of Deputy Probation Officer and, the ironic part of it is, the part I fear the most, the psych, is NOT what is on my mind, but rather the fact that my own blood has betrayed me and sent the doctors in Occupational Health a false positive regarding Hepatitis A. A bit of history...11 years ago, I contracted Hep A. Thus, I SHOULD have Hep A antibodies. Trouble is, the doctors don't seem to believe me when I tell them that I already had it. Further, my medical records from 11 years ago are in some storage unit belonging to a doctor diagnosed three years ago with Prostate Cancer and whose practice was either sold or shut down, I just don't know. I only know that I can't get my old records. So, I am going to see a doctor this afternoon and find out what I can do. I am utterly confused about this whole thing, but it HAS taken my head out of the psych thing, so I won't belabor my confusion.
For the record, I've passed all the other medical related issues (cholesterol is still WAY too high, but I won't drop dead tomorrow because of it - heck, I might do something about it if that were the case...heh...). Psych will, I have no doubt, get back to me sometime in the next couple of weeks. Or someone will. Just wasn't expecting any problems to occur because of THIS.
Also, quite to my surprise, the docs at Occupational Health still seem to think I am being considered for an Armed Unit. That wasn't what I was told, but when did that ever make a difference? It's been almost 20 years since I fired a weapon and I will admit to missing it...I was classified a marksman way back in the day...of course, that is shooting at unmoving pieces of paper (and the occasional tin can).
I am almost finished watching last years CSI: New York. It's taken forever to get through this season, but then I haven't had a lot of time. I really like Gary Sinise. Next up will be Bones.
Reading book one of Jack Campbell's THE LOST FLEET series titled, Dauntless. I am very impressed and enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. At this point, I will get the next book in the series and keep with it.
I failed in my promise to read a book I promised to. Various reasons, including hating to read on the computer and being unable to print out a 400 page book to take home with me as well as numerous life issues have just taken me away from it. I am honestly not sure if I will ever return to the book, although I would like to. Right now, though, I have a Thanksgiving deadline on this new writing assignment and not a lot of time to read except at lunch here at work...and who wants to sit at the computer doing that when I am sitting here at the computer all day anyway? UGH. So, my apologies to the author. I've never NOT followed through on a promise to read something before and it saddens me that I've had to do it a first time.
Finally, I am REALLY digging Ilan Eshkeri's score to STARDUST. It runs the emotional spectrum and is more fun than you can imagine. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope you're having an awesome Friday the 13th!! Here's hoping for an even better weekend.
