Went bowling today after work with some coworkers. Hadn't done that in a long time and forgot how much I loved doing it. I'll have to start going more often again. Especially in light of the fact that I've got my bowling ball back from Washington finally :)

That's right, it's now fall. The leaves are changing and falling to the ground. The nights are chilly. And it is dark outside when I leave work. I hadn't been posting here as I didn't have much to say. Still don't really :) However, there IS some news for those of you whomever might find this little piece of the blogosphere. It looks like in December I'll be moving from my wonderful 4 day on / 4 day off schedule at work and rejoining the grind of Monday through Friday labor. That just sucks. I haven't had a job with a real firm schedule like that in a long time. I mean I'll still have more flexibility than a lot of people. No clocks to punch. No quotas. That sort of thing. I mean if we need to take care of some personal business we are allowed to do that as long as it's not abused. I suppose that a lot of salaried jobs could be that way.
Anyway, I'll be moving into my supervisors' position. He's going to be leaving in Janruary to head off to OCS. Thats Office Candidate School for you non-Army types. It also means that when he comes back from said school he will no longer be allowed to keep his current position (that's if he passes of course). So basically it appears that unless I magically get dumb or something that I'll be offered a full-time Active Guard job. Basically I'll be active duty Army again, just working for the National Guard. It also means that I'll be guaranteed a promotion almost right away and another in a couple of years as thats an E7 position. And of course the countdown can begin towards getting my full retirement. Less than 13 years and counting right now!
Now over the next few years Becky and I'll have to see what to do about where to live and such. Don't really want to make her move to DC but we might end up having to do that unless we want to keep having me commute on the weekends. Might just have to both pack up and move somewhere else just for kicks.
