Well good morning.

So last week was “short”, but only technically speaking because I had alot to do. Something good happened a few weeks ago that now allows me to work more freely in my shop, and work is what I am definitely doing. I did alot of… stuff… last week, and come a certain point in the week I find out that a certain thing didn’t happen that needed to happen by a certain time, so now the ensuing work period to the end of the week I’m working feverishly to get that certain thing accomplished. For the most part we took care of it, because we’re cool like that, but I guess I was frustrated because some people are dropping the ball in some aspects of the stuff we need to do at work.

I guess my gripe is I felt like I pushed so hard to get stuff accomplished and it felt like I did nothing. Not to mention I’m going for my big O-1 now, and every little thing that goes wrong is really tearing me up. I know I have to change, or at least “adjust”, because freaking out is not conducive to being an Officer. I guess at the very least I can recognize that I still have alot to learn, and that fact in and of itself qualifies me for future redemption and possibly greatness.

Anyway since the start of our long weekend in which we honor our veterans of war, I spent it playing World of Warcraft. I KNOW I KNOW I just said I wouldn’t play it but damnit, I deserve to have a little fun now and again, right? Anyway I think after busting my ass at work all last week, I deserve to be a total slacker this weekend. I need to balance that chi.

Well, I hope this has been vague enough for you. I don’t think I mentioned any details, and people dropping the ball that you eventually have to be picked up by the rest of the team happens not just at my job but every job, every day.
