Wow. Sorry, Dear Readers, for my near-catatonic presence and glacial-updating. Actually, things have been quite busy. The job in Indiana hasn't quite lived up to expectations, but we have had some fun. We inadvertently blew up some stuff a few weeks ago, much to the consternation of the engineers who designed it. However, it did not surprise my boss, who tried to explain that their design was flawed - and when they protested, citing their facts and figures, he just shrugged and said "Enjoy the show". When we went to the test range, the item didn't fail to impress (although it did fail spectacularly). Hooray for science! I have joined a new reserve unit - it is, so far, fun being an Ensign. No one really has any big expectations, and when you do something right, folks are impressed (the bar is set rather low, I'm afraid). The butter bar fails to impress anyone, but they still have to insert "sir" into their sentences - of course, they are often prefaced with "Sir, with all due respect..." then they pretty much tell me to go sit in the corner (the infamous "shut up and color"). Spring has finally arrived - and not a moment too soon. After returning from the Sandbox, I was ready for some cooler temps and some precipitation. Well, after a cold, wet, dreary Winter, I am now ready for some warmer weather, and to see my old buddy, BOB (the Sun). I am furiously searching for newer, better, deffer, fresher employment - and maybe, just maybe, something might just kinda-sorta happen later this Summer. In the meantime, I am banished to the wilds South-by-Southeast of Bloomington.
