"Headed for the heart of Cygnus,
Headlong into mystery"
- Rush, 1977
Been a little bit since I have written here...mainly since the world once again has gone all meshuggah on me...
Some good...some not so good...
GOOD: Pending promotion at work...hooray!!! There is a very strong possibility that I am going to be named District Manager for my region within the next week. It is happening all so quick, but at the same time I welcome it, because I have definitely worked my tail off to get here.
Now the funny part is that I know that this is equal parts 'deserving it' and 'out of necessity' for my company...which is fine by me, because I'll just work that much harder to prove that I am not just a stop gap. That in and of itself is a good reson for them to formally name me to the position, 'cause they KNOW what they are getting!
Anyway, this kinda threw the proverbial 'monkey wrench' into my personal life - boat, vacations, etc...a lot of it is on hold (though I am working VERY hard to focus on the boat stuff), but in the end its all positive stuff, and I look forward to the phone call saying it's a done deal.
Not So Good:
Painted the boat - the one we are selling - an absolute disaster...just finished sanding it AGAIN today, and gonna try to paint again next week...
The stairs came out great, but took, like 6 hours more than expected...I never did get to see my Dad before he moved... *sigh*
Spending money hand over fist on the boat and accepssories for the boat, but it IS what I expected, so I guess this one is 'neutral'.
Boat update:
Ok, got the engine, and currently boat is at mechanics place having engine installed - we may yet get this out this year...who knows? That would be killer, though...would love to take it for a spin and do some fishing before the end of the season! We'll see...
Also, this is gonna have a totally pimped out stereo system! 6 Polk 6.5" speakers for the mains, a Kenwood waterproof am/fm/cd/mp3/wma/sirius stereo, and possibly a big fat subwoofer to scare away da fishies! John nixed the idea of movie screen, dvd player, and surround sound....oh well, no movies on the water. :-P
We also picked up a bunch of other things - housekeeping type stuff for boat...now all we gotta do is get all the electrical figured out and I think we are good...
Anyways, thats enough for now..I gotta go to bed...really tired and no days off this week again...
Till the next one...
"Spinning, whirling, still descending
like a spiral sea unending!"
