So here I am, chilling at home. Been out of the Navy for almost a month. Got screwed on my travel pay by the Navy and am working a ton of odd jobs to make ends meet. Had a great lead on a job with a major defense contractor, but don't know where it's going. They said they were doing a background check a few...

Well, moved back to the St Louis area around July 1st. Navy still hasn't unscrewed my pay. Still lookin for a job. Still worrying about life and the woman I love... and about love in general. Bleh.
Well, nother random update... should be moving back to St. Louis next week, assuming the Navy unfscks my pay. Bleh.
Well, been a bit since I've updated... so what's new?
Got a girlfriend now (Yay!) and she kicks ass! It's funny how similar we are, half the time our little arguments happen because we're too similar! We're both the kind of people who puts the other person first, that kinda thing, so things are interesting in an exasperating way sometimes
She's awesome though.
As for...

Back in November, I decided 2 things:
1. I don't want to be an ET (Electronics Tech) anymore. Not because I don't like electronics (I do) but because I've spent the last 5 years doing computer work (IT)... this means that if I took orders for being an ET, I would be extremely out of practice and they'd expect me to perform like I'd always been doing ET stuff... and I feel that shortchanges the Navy, to a degree... that, and I've had people with no experience try to be my supervisor, and I reeeealy don't want to be that person.
2. If I'm going to cross-rate out of ET, I won't cross to IT... because 95% of the ITs I know are real idiots... which is why the Navy computer support structure is falling apart. Instead, I'm going to go CTN, which is, more or less, computer security. Think hacker-type stuff.

Well, here I am updating again...
Just finished watching a really good anime series, Gunslinger Girl... whoever their gun liason was, they were spot on with pretty much everything. Great animation, great everything, even the storyline kicked ass... hell, it even made sense! (Wow, I said an anime made sense... clearly there's something wrong with me!)
My only problem with the series was the ending......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 
Well, 2 and a half weeks later, not much has changed... just tired of everything. Wake up, work, go home, sleep: rinse wash repeat.
Liz surprised me yesterday and showed up out of the blue to pick up some of her stuff since most of her winter clothes were left here at the apt. Helped her pack and load quite a bit of stuff.

Ever have one of those days where your self-confidence is just completely wrecked? Where you finally get tired of the bullshit and want to give up?
Yeah. that's about where I'm at right now =\ Hard to be optimistic all the time with the truth staring you in the face, laughing.
Oh well. I'll wake up tomorrow, sigh, and go to work like I've done...

Man... I wish this was one of those updates where you say stuff like "Wow, I had a great time last night..." but unfortunately it's not, really.
Yep, just like the "good time post" this one comes with "I woke up naked" but doesn't include some hot chick... or better yet, doesn't include any chick at all... and no, I don't do guys. Nothing like...

Well... now for the obvious: Dating sucks!
Seriously. I get 3 numbers while I'm in New Orleans... one had a boyfriend, but didn't bother to say anything about till I called her... another "doesn't date co-workers" even though we're pretty much coworkers in name only (wow, we wear the same uniform!) and the third doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind if...
