Another year gone. I know, the year was gone 12 days ago. But it's like I always say, don't put off until tomorrow what you can put off for 12 days. It's been a year, too. I moved from somewhere I love to somewhere I loathe (duty calls, and I won't be here forever), I've gone from despising what I do and where I do it to just despising where I do it, and I'm actually kicking around the idea of staying past 20 years. I've kept two of three resolutions: I haven't had soda in over a year (I know, little thing, but significant stick-to-it-iveness), and I'm in better shape now than I've been in years. The classes thing kinda fell by the wayside, and I have all kinds of excuses for it, but it boils down to not knowing what I want to be when I grow up. So, eventually, perhaps, I'll delve into classes again and earn a piece of paper that says I'm persistent enough to earn a piece of paper.

I'm up for promotion again, and I find out in March whether I'm testing again next year or not. I believe I will be. March is also the time I have a fairly large decision to make career wise. If I get promoted I'm gonna apply to teach. In Alabama. The teaching gig would be great, but I'm on the fence about Alabama. Should I not get promoted I need to decide whether to stay here or try and go over-seas again (probably Korea, again). Meh, I have about two months.

This year has seen friend's relationships end, and an relationship begin (or start again if you will) and end for yours truly. And when that happens, especially what is going on with my friend, it makes me question the sanity of relationships in general. Considering my over-all track record I'd say I'd be crazy to want to get involved in one again.

That's it, except to say that while I'm not laughing like a hyena happy, I'm currently content with life. And that's saying something. Gotta go, coffee's on.
