Hi Corri Since you are one of the most honest people I never met I'll pass on the sugar coating. Hope this post finds you well.
Yes we have chocolate and coffee in surviving. 97% caffeen. You can fix those nasty server and IP problems in no time while learning to salsa.
This is my slow season. Lifeguarding starts in March. I pretty much do what I want when I want with the exception of Mil duty. My D13 will be staying every other weekend as per visitation since my X requested a change. Previously I saw here once or twice a week and hung out. We always have a good time but I will do more effort in planning potential stuff to do or hanging out depending on the mood of the day. We adhere to a strict definite whatever.
Been taking PME (Professional Military Education) Senior Enlisted Leadership course online. If it is not as exciting as supporting Relational Databases under neon in a cubical it comes a close second. But that means money for retirement but if I had my druthers I'd rather blow something up.
I've been buried with tasks for extended periods in my life and boredom is a blessing. Next off season I will be looking to keep more busy but no worries. Jan is a wildland firefighting class and two weeks mil duty at the Naval Hospital so I only got one month of snoozin left.
