Checking In

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since my last posting. I guess time flies when you're working 8p-6a. Anyway, here's a recap of the week:

- It is now like central Texas in late July. Days are usually 105-ish and at midnight it is still 85+. At least there's usually a nice hot breeze. ;-)

- I still don't have my laptop but a package I ordered from Amazon, about 3 or 4 days after my wife sent my LT, arrived a couple of days ago. It is a CCDP Self-Study book. I think I can take the CCDP test up at Anaconda at their VUE testing center.

- Recently the PX got 8 Sony PSPs. They were all gone before noon the next day. They also had 4 $180 Sendheiser headphones that were gone in less than a day.

- We had some military folk come in from Camp Arifjan to help us with some comm issues we have been having. Nothing definitive yet but we're ruling things out one by one.

- Apparently there are some new places opening up that will require some ITT presence. Volunteers have been requested. If that doesn't meet staffing needs then people will be told to go. Since I'm sort overkill here, I might be in that number. Hopefully I can stay here for awhile but I'll go where they send me.

- I am finding that the chow hall can be a problem. Those servers load it on. I need to be careful. I think I have actually gained a little weight since coming to Scania.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully my laptop will be in soon. I am making progress in Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge on my Gameboy Advance so it isn't a total loss!
