Dichotomy...

Happy belated birthday to Alcivar! Sorry for thedelay, but I've been in Bremerton again, hopefully for the last time. We stayed at a nicer hotel this time, but I still spent 12-15 hours a day working in the submarine. That's 2 weeks in a row now of working 60+ hours. Suck. But at least this is a short week where I get to see Emily, my favorite cousin Jennifer and her family, and eat eat eat eat. As if I need to get any chunkier... Anyway, I got home yesterday afternoon, washed my laundry, watched some football, and went to bed. I thought my cell phone ringing this morning was my alarm clock and that today was Tuesday. All this cross-country travel and working on the weekends has seriously screwed up my internal clock, and this 3-day week isn't going to help matters. But I'll get back on track eventually. Submarine's don't smell funny until you get off themfor a couple days and all yoru clothes have a weird funk coming from them. Casino's make me hack and cough from all the smoke, which kind of covers the submarine funk, but mostly just makes it worse the next day. I guess I'm not impulsive enough to enjoy gambling. Even if I knew I'd break even (which I didn't), I can think of a hundred better ways to spend a couple hours than in a smoky casino full of hicks. No wonder chain-smoking Dave from West Virginia like them so much... Oh well. All in all it was a better business trip than last time.
