Well to start off, the beginning of the week was boring. there was not much that I did. I sat around watched TV and caught up on some sleep. I also had some time to catch up on my bloody marys. The guys were all involved with classes and work, so I was not really able to go out with them, they were not up for it. Wednesday I did get to go out for a bite to eat with Abby and Erin, what a couple of cuties. After eating and wallowing in the lack of being gainfully employed, I helped Tod resolve some of his computer issues and a bottle of wine later, I was back on my way home.

Thursday I dragged myself into work at 2:00. I was happy to see that paycheck waiting for me on the desk. After a decently lengthy meeting about new EBR procedures, we apparently have some actual NOC-like work to do. I was pulled aside by Tom K, he explained that there was going to be an full-time opening in the NOC. He also explained that he considers me to be the prime candidate for that position. There was only yet to be discussed the issue of pay and hours. I explained that I was primarily interested in getting my weekends back and gaining a full time position. That was next followed by Tom M pulling me aside to offer me the full-time TSC position that I applied for. That would be great and put me at M-F with a semi-normal schedule, full time pay and benes. That was just absolutely wonderful news. This was somewhat celebrated with a trip to Brann’s with Darrin.

Friday was a painfully early day. After recieving about 2 hours of sleep following work and drinks Thursday night I had to be back at the office by 6am. That wasn’t such a bad way to work, to get all the hours together like that to get bigger chunks of time off. After working with Tom on a potential schedule most of the day, I discovered what appears to be an Arabic website, registered to someone in Iran. There is a direct link to my pictures page from a post on the site, the link is the only thing that I can understand on the site. Following work, I headed to gather my camping stuffs and headed up to OSR for the evening of fun and activities up there. This was fun and I even got some fishing in, but it has turned into a rather long day. It has truly been a while since I have been able to survive so long on so little sleep. It has been about 2 hours of sleep in 60 hours. I wanted to sleep this morning at work, but everytime I felt like I would be able to, there was a phone call to keep me up. All in all there were a lot of calls today, more so than I have been recently dealing with on the weekend. I was able to catch up on the ending of Season1 of 24. I was also able to go out with Abby and have dinner, the first time I have ever dined at the Macaroni Grill. It was delicious, now I just want to get back out to camp to enjoy the time I have remaining out there this weekend.
