Lucy, I'm home!

you got some 'splanin' to do!

I've been out of the loop for a while, and of course a pile of stuff has happened in the 16 months I've been away.

But a brief recap: got 'fired' from my job at the range, only to be rehired 20 minutes later to fix their computers at four times my old wage, tried to start a small business, started school with my VA benefits, got a hold on some personal problems, then the Army called and said "Hey soldier, gear up and get out to the desert!".

So I loaded up the truck and moved to Camp. Arifjan, that is. On a roll with the classic TV references tonight, apparently.

Got 6-ish more months to go out here, or thereabouts, and as nice as this place is compared to other places I've been, I'd rather be just about anywhere other than here. I work at the top, whats usually called "echelons above corps", but we call it "echelons above reality". there are so many stars and eagles walking around, most of what occurs here has little to no bearing on anything happening further north. Some of it doesn't even pertain to things possible in a normal, 4-dimensional universe. It's like a bad Dilbert cartoon, with more buzz-cuts and boots than pointy hair and ties that defy gravity.

But it's time for bed. Some time in the future ill share some anecdotes with all 3 of you that read this, but tomorrow is another day. well, its actually today, but thats neither here nor there.
