Today has been another busy day.

I got to sleep in a bit, and then ran to the post office and bank before coming to work. I only got about an hour through the day, when I ran off to gather some Yuri's Night stuff from the printer. Then, a quick lunch, and off to 600 Gemini (a contracter building) for three lessons in two hours. After catching my breath, back to work.

Where I found out... that there were only two applicants for the FDO slot. Me and one other (ok, the other is a PhD Rhodes Scholar with way more visibility and more important work than me, but that's just a nit...). I had mentally expected 6 (or more) competitors, making my application basically a shot in the dark. I'm currently in the process of adjusting myself to the idea that I have at least at least a fighting chance of getting this job right off, and near-automatic shot of being next in line for it. All this stuff comes in a deluge. Two months ago, I was increasingly bored at work. Now, I have three things that I've just started that I really like doing -- and here's the opportunity for me to do something even bigger if I am willing to give up this other stuff I like. So, needless to say, my head is spinning. I guess in a few weeks I'll know how it all works itself out, but since I like what I'm doing now and I think I'd like being a FDO, its a win-win situation.

Then, off to Molly's, a quaint pub with awesome outdoor seating (to enjoy the PERFECT weather in), where I had a "dry" happy hour. Why, you ask? Well, because, now I'm back at work. I'm observing a sim with Diego Garcia (a navy base in the middle of the Indian Ocean) as part of my training. I expect to be done at 9:30, when I will head home to my neglected puppies and go to sleep.

Rinse, repeat.
