Chugging through things

I haven’t done much blogging lately, which is usually (but not always) a sign that things have gotten busy for me. Such is the case this time around. At $WORK, I have been asked to pitch in for a sick coworker who’s out for the week. This entails learning the stuff he does from the ground up, and that has kept me busy. On the other hand, time at work flies by when I’m deep into solving a problem. I don’t consider being busy to be a bad thing.

Outside of work, there is also a round of meetings coming up. I’ve been planning my CAC meetings like normal but there was also a weekend Parks and Rec meeting. Tonight I had the Mordecai board meeting and next week it’s RCAC and the Parks Board. Then the following Monday I conduct my East CAC meeting. While it’s fun to get stuff done, I have to say that the holiday break spoiled me a bit. It was nice to relax for a change and spend some time with the family. Still, it’s all good.

Next up for my “Where I’ve Worked” series is my stint in the Navy. I have to admit I’m a bit intimidated at the thought of having to distill four years of twenty-four-hours-a-day-seven-days-a-week Navy life into a post, or two. The old ad campaign is true: the Navy isn’t just a job, it’s an adventure. It will probably take me a few weeks to hammer out a post on it. Stay tuned.
