海行かば

It has been raining a lot, but it is finally summer! Yes, Dear Readers, it is good to feel the sun again (between intermittent showers). The job continues (with varying degrees of success). Next week I am going in for an interview. If it is successful, then things could possibly change. Way back when, in the early days of this blog, I had the hope of finding some seriously-good employment, and start a new and better life. Things haven't been easy, but the place I am at now is much different from where I was at. At this moment I can honestly say that it has been a long and difficult journey, but I wouldn't have changed a thing. If (and this is a mighty big "if") everything works out next week, I might be looking at the culmination of five years-worth of effort. Not the end-all-be-all final step, but a pretty big one. I have already achieved part of my goals (the commissioning-thing), and now the civilian-side is starting to line up. Crossing the fingers and hoping for the best!
