Apathy

As I sit checking my email and reading a handful of RSS feeds before facing my commute around the beltway, something occurs to me. I haven’t looked at my blog in quite some time. Over 6 months, according to the last post. So… I must have been busy! Yeah! Like in my last post, I talked about finding a new job.

Nope, same place. What can I say?, my boss is good at encouraging loyalty. On a higher note, there is some update. I’m in the process of applying for the “Future Technical Leaders” program through my company – a 3-year 3-rotation program intended to give those lucky few a broader scope of what we do. And, for the first time ever, the government has opened a req. for a new position. If all goes really well, then maybe I’ll be floating around the planet come 2012 or so.

I have dome some work on the house, although I haven’t taken any pictures of it, which I probably should since everyone around the office keeps asking. We recently put in a utility sink in the laundry room. Most will go “swell”, but when water would previously empty from the washing machine and suddenly bubble up into the kitchen sink, then installing this sink is an incredible boon.

The BMW, 9 months later, is still a dream to drive. It suffered a black eye over Thanksgiving break – a stray road cone was drifting back and forth across the highway (very windy) and zigged when I thought was zagging. As a result, it blew out the fog light on the driver side. Haven’t gotten it fixed ($$$), but not really a big deal. I am no longer an enthusiast,
but a complete believer.

Until next time…
