Wow, updating gap from hell.
Well, what to say? First job offer got yanked out from underneath me as they had some issues with my clearance (nothing out of order, they just didn't want to spend time doing extra paperwork to get me read in. Grr.) Got another DoD-type job paying decent cash, joined the reserves (50% chance of activation inside a year), ordered: midlength carbine from Rock River (yay rifle), Eotech 553, Surefire M900 grip+light, and a X200B light for my Springfield XD. Figure if they're gonna send me to the sandbox, I'll be in good practice and have a few pieces of gear I can bring with (ie. the eotech and the lights)....
Seeing a chiropractor for my back, since it's goofed up from right before I got out of the navy. Note: Picking up another person = no problem. Lugging them across the apartment to the bathroom = no problem. Putting them in the tub in cramped quarters = back says "F-U!"
Other than that, the girl and I are doing ok I guess. She's still dealing with being 900 miles away and missing the hell outta me. Heck, I miss the hell outta her. Told me the weirdest thing; that if I find someone here for "fun" to take advantage of the situation since she wasn't here to do it herself.
*boggle* What the hell is that supposed to mean? I mean, yeah, there's the chance it means just what it says... but the potential for minefield drama... oy! As if I'm going to find someone out here. Not to be "Emo" or anything, I just have crap for luck finding women, much less the kind I'd be willing to just have a roll in the hay with. I count myself lucky I found Meghan and hope I'll be able to keep her around. Bleh, cognative dissonance sucks.
Anyways, off to look at more toys for my guns
