Winter Begins

This weather is killing my running routine. Never mind that its so damn cold out, but now with sleet and rain I haven't run in the last two days. Combined with typical cold weather over eating I'm sure to lose all my hard work at this rate. I'll have to find some solution till I can get access to an indoor gym.

Not happy with the outcome of the election. Disappointed in a country that can't get their facts straight and make our greatest national triumph look like fucking American Idol.

Still waiting on an academy date, just like everyone else. At this point I'm just hoping for something early next year. A friend of mine who is an airline pilot is going to be furloughed in January, so today he was asking me about applying to the FAA to be a controller. Pretty sure I sent him in the right direction after we both couldn't find the proper online application. Things have really changed since I applied so long ago.

I met up with my cousin Alyssa and her husband Jon at Panera Bread today. Its been a good 10 or so months since I last saw her, probably haven't seen Jon for even longer, probably since their wedding. We had a good 2 1/2 hour conversation catching up on lives. We agreed that we needed to get all the old high school friends together more often, perhaps over the holidays.

Had to deal with a trojan on my computer yesterday, that was a genuine pain in the ass. Thankfully I was able to deal with it after a little information finding. This is why people think I'm good with computers, even though I just go and find the solutions on the internet. Google is your friend.

Day by day I keep trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel, well aware I'm in the last part of my lengthy hiring process. I'm keeping myself occupied thankfully, but the lack of forward progress is still agitating me every day. That interesting thing I thought might happen this week didn't, and probably never will, I would have been pretty surprised if it did though. Not any sort of loss on my part so no big deal.
