Today
Today I cut a flange during HT/welding/torch class. It looked like crap but it's my first one. The sides mostly looked right it was just messy and uneven.
Me: *AGGRESSIVELY FILING MY METAL 'FLANGE' TO MAKE IT SMOOTH. It's not going to happen.* Chief?
Chief: Yeah?
Me: *points to the poor abused metal that is my flange* So... what exactly are you looking for here? Because this is beyond...
Chief: *observes the pathetic melted mess of metal* *grins* Well I'm looking for a flange.
Me: *laughing* Something that looks like flange?
He proceeded to tell me that I was using the wrong file and my holes just needed to be able to fit over the dummy flange.
It's been a rough couple of weeks emotionally. I'm just tired of the military environment. Every day has its own challenges I guess.
I kind of go nuts during watches. I always have the midnight watches so I can sing and dance to my heart's content to keep from going insane.
I've never been so dependent on music to get me through the days. Most of the time I'm mentally in left field, ignoring my surroundings.
I told Meghan today I think my 'real' personality has been coming out more than it usually does out of the desperation not to feel so suppressed. In a way, it's a good filter for people because people either find me obnoxious or funny.
I've never been told I'm funny so many times in my life.
There's stuff with the government shutdown but I don't feel like getting into it.
If you're ready come and get it
na na na na na, na na na na na
