The weekend is here!

Yea! About damn time! This week has been quite interesting. Went scuba diving on Mother's Day, which was pretty fun and all. This week, I believe I (and the rest of the Help Desk team, except for 1 came down with a case of food poisoning (possible water contamination). I'll explain.

Everyone on the help desk is ready to get in shape! So, we're all drinking (or at least trying to drink) 64oz of water each day (the recommended allowance). Some days we do good, other days we don't. I get into work at 7a.m. in the mornings and my co-worker Dale comes in alittle earlier than 730. I asked him if he could get me some water (to start off my day).. Well earlier this week, I drank about half of my water bottle and an hour later.. I felt like crap. I won't go into the details, but yeah.. It wasn't pretty.. I came back to the helpdesk and asked the other people here if they were feeling ok.. Sure enough no one was feeling good except for one person who didn't drink the water.. So.. we all blamed the water fountain.. we had the water treatment plant guys come out to check the water and the tests came back OK.. So.. yeah.. right.. Either, they are hiding something or that we happen to drink all the "bad" water and the rest was good.. I had even offered them to take the water we still had in our water bottles, but they said "it has to be in a sterile container, we can't take a sample from your water bottle". So yeah.. There you go!!! Was out of work for about a day because of it.. oh well. I guess that's why we have PTO!

On to other news... Only 49 days till I see David and only 5 days till Pohnepi!! Can't wait to go.. It's going to be so much fun. Wish David would be there.. oh well.. I'm sure he's having fun at his LAN parties and hanging out with buds and all..

You know.. I absolutely hate when people tell me how to do my job.. Grr on them! Hell, I have been doing this for a while now.. I know what I'm doing!!!!

Neways.. moving on... like I said... this week has been interesting.. Been trying to figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life.. career wise.. at least.. I'm getting pretty bored on the help desk, I'm always looking for other stuffs to do (rather, take on more responsibilities).. Wish I could move to another position or something.. I've been looking at other job opportunities on island. I've applied for a couple of them, but hadn't really heard back.. Some of them have said
" you need radar experience and stuffs".. so.. yeah, I've been thinking alot about what I want to do with my career.

On to other news.. I was on myspace.com last night and I was looking though my friends (friends list) and noticed alot of people who I went to high school with and also some old friends that I hadn't seen in a while.. I also manage to run across my ex's myspace page, which I had no idea he had.. so yeah.. it was a definitely an interesting evening. I emailed a couple of people that I used to hang with and all.. I can't believe how people grow up.. Notice that alot of the girls that I hung out with in high school have kids, been divorced, married, or whatever the case may be. Some of the guys that I remember, now live out of state, married, divorced, etc. etc. Some of them look a bit different than say 5 years ago, some of them look the same.. Like I said, it was an interesting evening... Memory Lane..

Well, today is the day that Beth comes back to Kwaj. She used to live here about a year ago (maybe 2 years ago)... She'll be working at the HourGlass (a local newspaper).. I'm sure Scott (David's Brother) is missing her like crazy, just like I'm missing David.. We're having a PCS party tonight (permanent change of station) for a lady who is leaving the island on the 21st and the party will also be a "Welcome Back to Kwaj" for Beth.. Hope she likes it.. I'm sure she's pretty jet lagged and wants to sleep.. but hey.. we gotta "PPPPAAARRTTYY!!!"

Well, I think that's it.. Just been thinking alot of the future and stuffs.. Been missing David like crazy and I think he's missin' me too.. Well, I hope so at least =D

Ya'll have a great weekend. Take care and see ya soon!
