What an eventful fucking week it has been. What an eventful fucking weekend it has been.
Almost lost a ferret today. She found herself in a PVC pipe going into the ground, about 18 inches down. Face forward, unable to move. Took me 20 minutes to find a way to get her out, and fuck that sucked. I checked everything else, just never caught that pipe, it was hiding behind my water heater. So not the ferrets are grounded until I cover that up correctly.
What else....
Well my favorite sports team is on a long as hot streak, longest streak in the league this year. But there are still fifty games to go this year, so hopefully we can still enjoy some momentum. It's still awesome, being home, in the hometown of the team finally, and enjoying this with family and fellow nearby fans.
I graduated the other day. After three years, and 3 months, I have completed my Bachelor's and my Master's. Already some cool calls are coming in, like the one yesterday. An offer to be a cyber security analyst for a missile defense company in Colorado? Awesome!!!!
As of two hours ago, I have turned 31. I know its not as much of an achievement, just something that happened this weekend.
And the Army beat Navy, finally!!!
So the question I now face is what do I do now?
My relationship is... getting worse, I think. I try.
I work 70 hours a week to pay all the bill.s
I do the dishes
I clean the floors
I take my son to bed EVERY night
I clean up after the ferrets
I get or cook dinner
I cuddle
I kiss
I talk
She says jump, I jump.
I clean the windows and glass
I bathe my child
I still get nothing in return. No kiss, no hugs, no sex, no talking, and attitude. I date a professional hairstylist, and I still go out and pay for my haircut. My friends and family see my child less because she doesn't feel like anyone coming over, or going anywhere, then arguing with me about me taking the boy.
Ugh, this is exactly why I spend my nights looking for people who want to talk to me, who have some sort of interest for me.
It's all about family now.
So whats next in the career?
A Ph.D. is useless in this industry unless you want to teach, and I don't, not just yet. I like engineering, building systems and what not. I figure some Microsoft Certifications could do me well. I am already pushing for one of the highest IT Security certs through the military, the CISSP. I do want to get into cloud, Azure Infrastructure especially. Could work on that soon.
In the meantime, I certainly can find myself enjoying video games, movies, silent nights with just me and the lotion. I enjoy it.
