Oh, snap!

Last blog in APRIL??? APRIL??

Can't say I'm surprised. I let ANYTHING be a good excuse for getting sidetracked. This is not a place marker, but a new beginning. So many plans, always going to the wayside. The goal is the same as always. I want to be the GoToGuy. I need be the guy people go to for answers. Who doesn't want to be?

Web administration was fun, but mostly a dead end. Someone once told me that the secret to success was to find something no one else wants to do, and do it well. Turns out I've been here all along- at the same wire rope job for years. Well, this year is going to be different. I've enrolled in a course to teach me more about wire rope, and I plan to spend the year becoming an expert- whatever that means.

I've been digging some angles, and there's so many ways to go about it. The different wire rope applications, the math for making wire rope work, the little nuances of wire rope as it's used in my own field. Any way I go, rest assured, I have my work cut out for me.

On an interesting side note, I'm going on a cruise!! I'm very excited to finally get the hell out of the country, and spend some time being mugged by people who don't speak my own language. I've asked a good friend to come with me. She obliged, and it seems so funny that by the time we make it to the ship, who knows what kind of relationship we'll have by then! Ha. As it stands now, she bought me dinner for my birthday, and surprised the hell out of me with a FANTASTIC kiss... then casually said, "Well, good night!"

Ha... Hooray for the unusual.
