New Phone

2008-03-28T13:13:52Z

I have a new cell phone. I try to replace my phone every couple of years. The main reason is the fact that I wear them down by then. Honestly, I am surprised they last as long as they do. For example, this last phone was dropped at least once ...

QotD: If at first you don't succeed...

What have you tried in life that you just weren't very good at? Playing violin. I will not say I was not good at it, it was just that I did not put forth as much effort as I should have. I only put forth the effort if I really liked the music ...

Changes and Stuff

2008-01-30T09:42:21Z

I am deploying soon. Not to Iraq, as I had originally been told, though. The deployment date has been moved up, too. I am not thrilled with that, though I have calmed down considerably from when I found out Monday afternoon. I blame that mood ...

Departure of One

2008-01-22T19:36:40Z

One of my troops was trying for a specific job in our unit. He called me this morning to inform me he had gotten the job. I am happy for him. One thing that is apparent, though, is I will no longer be his supervisor once his annual evaluation c...

Cats (Part Three)

2008-01-20T08:01:09Z

It is funny to observe what phases or oddities my cats go through. For example, the last few days, I have come into my bedroom to find one of the drawers to my dresser open a few inches. Just wide enough for a cat to squeeze in. Colby is usuall...
