Holding pattern

It's 0125 and I'm about to leave the hotel and pick up a co-worker at the airport. Funny thing is, we should've been in Kuwait by now. Additional training was "requested" by the company.

A new adventure

After a long hiatus I've resumed blogging at Coffee brakes. Nothing much was going on between May and just a few weeks ago, but now things have picked up. I'm finishing up some training here in Georgia and off the get some additional training in New Jersey. I've accepted a job overseas in a somewhat dangerous place, but my company was the only one offering employment and I accepted. Beats working for Pitney Bowes making junk mailers. Going away will also clear my head a bit. I was getting emotionally attached to a friend of mine, but she made it clear there was no way she was ever going to consider becoming closer. My feelings were very strong for her so I had to make the decision to really distance myself from her. She wanted to remain friends, but at this point I don't think that can continue. It's great for her, but torture for me. Does that sound like a cop-out? Maybe, but I have to think about myself for once. Thinking about her got me nothing.

I'm excited and a bit nervous about going, but hopes and dreams aren't going to pay the bills.
