of course i knew about it....haha...

the bannister is your friend.

Ouch! That sucks. The other day I had a huge bruise on my leg and the worst part is I had no idea how I got it. I blame Joe.

Hooray for pool league..

Boo for being sick when the weather turns good.

I haven't had a down-day to sickness yet this year. I've got my fingers crossed.

About every 6-9 months I pretty much crash out sick with something over here. It is probably just the point where my body throws in the towel due to stress and environment, but those 24-48 hours definitely suck.

Dr. ZPOs prescription for both of you is time spent wrapped up in each others arms. You've both got stresses in your lives that neither can take away for the other. Sometimes the best you can is help each other recharge.

You loved her yesterday. You love her today. You will love her tomorrow. Not being together on V-Day sucks a bit, but you two can make any day you want into V-Day.

I'm still pouting

I guess I lost about 20 bucks on the Superbowl...not because I bet anything...that was the gas money it took to get down to the party and back.

And yeah, I was behind the Bears so...that pretty much sums THAT up.
Had fun seeing friends though

TGIF - Amen to that. PowerPoint and clue-giving is how I spent my week. Unfortunately they won't let me accomplish the latter with a clue-by-four.

Can I work with robots? I hear they are relentlessly logical. That would be a nice change of pace.

yay for commercials and pork sammiches!!

Structure? You're kidding right?

I got so lucky with my boss this rotation. For the last rotation my boss was an information-hording control-freak that expected me to be psychic. This time I've got a *mustang captain and we've developed a very good trust relationship. I keep him briefed, let him handle the political squables, and make sure my portion of the overall network runs like a well-oiled machine and makes him look good. We have chow together almost daily and only 1 group meeting per week.

*mustang = he was enlisted first and then became an officer. It means he's a little older, wiser, experienced, and much more politically savvy than the average captain. We've got a bunch of mustangs in the current crew and I love working with them.

I had a version of that at the first company I worked for over here. I knew my direct boss well, but I'd never even been to the corp office until I stopped by one day about a week before I left to come over here.

I'd get messages directing activities from people I had never met and had no clue where that individual fit into the overall corporate structure. It didn't help much that the company pretty much refused to issue an org-chart.

At the current company there are still folks in the heirarchy I don't know (I've never worked for them in the US), but I know all the bosses in my chain well. I've done convoys and helo flights with the uber-boss. It does make for good bonds when you've been shot at together.

I miss you already

Welcome back!
