Here be an entry...
Just really trying to clear my head. I thought if wrote it down, then it might help.
Christmas was... interesting? to say the least. If I wasn't fighting with my mother, then I was fighting with my brothers live-in girlfriend. It was rediculous. On top of that, she wanted to ask for favors!? She's not exactly level in the head. I have a plethora of reasons that she bothers me. Among them is Lazy, Rude, Spoiled Princess Attitude, and some time of weird midget syndrome. (That last was is intended as a joke. Don't take it out of context.)
January was a rush. It seamed that with the new year a whole lot of new problems came up, as well as new blessings. I have a new boss. I would define him as the personification of "Dirty" Joe Navy. A former construction guy, he's hard up about an honest days work, physical fitness, and micro-management. On the plus side, there is no one better to have on your side to cover you or protect you. The alone makes him better that 90 percent of people I have work with or for. I made my mission and set myself up pretty for February. I, also, recieved a designation as the physical training coordinator for NRS Hickory and joined a dart league.
February. I was determined to have the best month ever. I met 150% of mission in the first 6 days of the month. I was done. I wanted time off and to relax. No working Saturday, no "extended" Fridays (i.e. off by 1200 HRS). It would have been great. Behold, the newest reason to work long hours and have to do more work. With so much time on my hands, I need to work on qualifications, not college. I need re-organize my already working plan. I need spend more time with the people who have committed themselves to the Navy. Ok, the last one I actually agree with. Still, I've never seen someone get so worked up about me not wanting to work after I've completed my task. What a crazy idea that is. I did get to go to California for a weekend. That was really nice. Just the break I needed, too.
March: Well, since I can do so well now, I am expected to make mission early every month now and am already being harped on about this months mission. Easy... better yet... BACK OFF! Seriously, he really doesn't get it. I have realized that doing all my people at once and being done does not equivalate to more time off. There is no reason for me to work harder to have the same hours of work to do.
Currently Cool Stuff: My diving budget is growing, DCon is paid for, and I just got my new darts. I've developed a decent crew at McGuires. We even do cookouts now that it is warming up. All is all the being broke all the time is paying off. It's becoming a great thing. I am getting out of debt fast enough that I notice it and I don't just blow money on useless crap. Beer does not count as useless, btw. It can be argued that it has a medicinal use.
I'm thinking about investing more money is to research companies. Particulary is alternate fuel source development. Granted, I am going to make sure it is research that I don't personnally believe to be a waste of my time, money, and taxes. I would like to develop an alternate source of income as well. I am seriously throwing the idea around of building my vacuum former and start a custom costume bit going.
Sorry if I've been missing out on a lot of good conversations, but it's been really busy lately. It's not a good reason, but it's the only one I've got.
