Eclectic Ramble
I'm sitting here trying to come up with something witty to say so the two or three people that read this blog o'crap, will continue to do so. Many days I come to work, go home, sleep, get up, watch my children through heavy lids, and then come back to work. When I'm working like this my life becomes like the movie Groundhog Day. Nothing changes, seems like one continuous day that goes on forever. So, I lead a very boring life at times.
On one hand I can't wait for this rocket to launch, so I can have a normal schedule for awhile. But, then my overtime goes away, and that extra cash is really nice. But, then you think about all the time you miss with your family. It all gets so crazy and mixed up.
Actually the word is that my shift may go away permanently after launch. Most of the stuff I do is to be automated. If that's the case I'm going to ask to be removed from this department, to work on flight hardware again. This crap gets boring. Even with all that time off, I still feel really burned out on this. That may have something to do with how things were in the Navy. The longest I was with any squadron was five years. I must be getting that gypsy itch.
Found out my wife's grandmother is entering her last few days here in this world. I see the pain on Mrs. Molly's face, and I know how hard that is. Her Nana raised her, so this is like her mother dying. I went to the store today, and bought her a really nice condolence card. Something that said what I wanted to express, because if I tried to vocalize my feelings, it would have come out all wrong, and I'd look like a turd. Not that I was going to say anything mean or indifferent. I just have a knack for saying stupid shit.
Oh well, farewell Nana, I'll miss you.

I think loving a job is important but boredom...eeeek! I can't handle that, my idle mind gets me in serious trouble. lol
CDA lost his surviving grandparents this summer... Whatever the age, its never easy. I think its sweet about the card and you're right, sometimes, its just easier to let it do the talking. She's a lucky gal to have you to lean on during this difficult time.
