Today is Sunday. Just slept 17 hours. I don't think yesterday happened. Of course, not sleeping friday night or even Saturday morning didn't help. Not anyone's fault, really. Sometimes shit goes down and you just have to deal with it. However, it is strange to wake up at 0130 completely refreshed.
Still no word on the job in Charleston, though I don't expect to hear from them until this work week. It's exciting that they ASKED me to apply, though I'm not trying to get my hopes up. I've been in this situation almost 2 dozen times in the last few months where I've gotten to the last round of interviews and been dismissed due to age or lack of experience. "You have the knowledge and ambition we like... But we have other candidates that have more experience, are in they're mid-30s and have the same knowledge...." It is nice to have an alternate plan, though. I hear San Antonio is nice during the winter....
Cruise is coming up. Very excited. Me, Brandon, Jessica and (hopefully) Tawnya. Grand Turks, Bahamas, Carribbean.... What's not to like?! Whether I go alone or with Tawnya, we'll have a blast.
Talked to Mom Friday. A good talk. We've come a long way in our relationship these last few years and it's nice. I don't think she likes the idea that I'm not in college, but I think she understands. The rest of my family.... not so much. I think it's a matter of proving that what I'm doing is a solid road to success before they accept me as a family member again. Brandon is a key player in that. He's quickly become one of my 2 best friends. Easily the most supportive of anyone I know in what I'm doing. And mentors me like no one has since Duane King or Tim Otis back in the Marine Corps.
Nice to vent. Don't really care if anyone reads this... if there are people reading this... Cool! Glad to know someone's paying attention. Keep reading. Will probably post everyday. Hope you've all had a good weekend and have a good week!
