Day Off

I am taking a day off from work today.

My sister, Penny, is flying through Norfolk, and so Derek and I are going to stop by the airport in a little while and meet her for lunch. You see, she is picking up her grandchildren from her son's ex-wife, so we will get to see those lil' fellows too [and, Angela too - haven't seen her since she and Randy were at Rosey Roads when DETROIT pulled in; musta been 1993 or thereabouts].

I think this will be a good visit, and I am glad :-)

Ack! Pfft Pfft....

Wouldn't ya know it?

I think I have a slight throat infection. Doesn't affect how I feel, just scratchy all of the time. My back is killing me - probably not sleeping right. Naturally, I am scheduled like crazy on the operational side of things. I am primarily the health and safety [and quality assurance!] guy at work, but I am qualified to drive two types of boats and can crew several more, and when things are tight, I put away the computer and hop into my life jacket. We have two crews at sea and a bunch of people on vacation, so I was on the op yesterday, plus I have one Wed, Thu, and Fri, and then Tuesday next week. I think I'll live.....

What do I do? Facebook friends, feel free to e-mail and ask. Blog friends, y'all already know. Short answer: we provide target support to the fleet. Fun, fun stuff [probably another reason my back hurts = Tony and I caught big air a few times and the seats bottomed out twice. They're on a shock-absorbing system, and that helps a lot, usually].

Happy Tuesday, everybody!

Happy June

I'm not un-retired. I never retired, either. Time issues. I kinda like sleeping, and with so many other things going on, just not enough time to blog. Not like anyone was reading anyhow....
