So my weekend was dull as can be, but what would you expect, I\u2019m moving in a week and I must say it sucks. Okay maybe not the moving part but the packing does. I\u2019ve always hated packing, granted I\u2019m very good at it; nonetheless I hate it with a passion. I\u2019ve come to the realization that I was bred to move, nothing more nothing less, every year I\u2019ve moved in, which is quite ironic has I vowed as a child that once I moved out I would never move again, and if I did it would only be after I\u2019ve lived at wherever I was for at least 2 yrs. Well that theory seems to have been shot to all hell. What makes it worse is I also vowed not to move within 3 wks of my birthday, and hence every move I\u2019ve made has either been on or within a week of my birthday, which really makes it crappy.<\/p>\n
If you haven\u2019t been able to tell yet, this blog is about moving, in which, as you can tell I know more than enough about, and anyone that knows me can relate. Okay I take that back anyone who grew up like I did can relate. The U.S. military is a great thing, except for all the damn moving. Growing up fro me consisted of two things get in trouble\u2026a lot and moving. If it wasn\u2019t from one state to another it was from one town\/base to another, then from one side of the base to another, then from on base to off base, and finally from one side of town to another, and yes to answer that question you\u2019re probably dying to ask. Yes many times this was done within the same year. I suppose this is one of the reason I have a hard time getting comfortable anywhere I do move to, why I only unpack what I need for the 1st<\/sup> few months, simply because I never know when I\u2019m going to pack it all up again.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n So I\u2019m sitting in my room which is now tore up from the floor up with computer components and old paperwork tossed about and I\u2019m wondering why I even bother to keep have the junk I had, and then realized most of the things I had kept were some sort of reminder that I had spent hours looking for to no avail, at some point in time in the last year. So I\u2019ve decided to only keep vital paperwork, anything to do with stocks, my 401K, and the vast number of police reports and insurance documents, only because I feel that I shall soon be disputing many claims in the near future. Anyway that\u2019s beside the point, I found some things I had been looking for and some things I wish I had never found or had simply thrown away to begin with. I used to be a major pack rat, and would keep the smallest things if it held any semblance of an event. As I found myself knew deep in things I simply had no use for or no desire to keep, I touched each item and recalled whatever experience it was connected to. By the 3 A.M I had only covered half of the pile, and beginning to draw a very firm conclusion. Some things are better left uncovered, some things should simply be tossed aside and away like the experiences they\u2019re associated with, and some thing should have never been packed away to begin with. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Out of all the things I found, I think the humorous was my birth certificate and will, ironic really, one document for when I was born the other for when I die. Probably the best so far, that I have found so far is the original beginning to \u201cFallen\u201d, which is very cool, because I had lost it and never really got back into the groove to begin writing it again, and now I don\u2019t have to. Okay actually I will, but not has much as I would have had to without it.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n My work day is sucking, because all the servers are intermittently down and it\u2019s been busy, because as usual no one listens to the VRU when it says the servers are having issues. And to top all of that I didn\u2019t get the level 2 position due to poor stats over the last 3 months. I kind of knew that was going to happen, so it\u2019s not a great disappointment. I am a little pissed because one of the current level 2\u2019s who got the position the 1st<\/sup> time stated he wouldn\u2019t recommend me because he\u2019s worked with me before and apparently I talk down to floor techs. The strange part is I was awarded, on several occasions for being one of the top 3 resource techs, at the job he supposedly worked with me at. In another bit of irony, thinking back upon it, when I 1st<\/sup> became a resource tech at that job, I was competing with him, let just say that was the last time I recall seeing him until now. Hmm thinking someone is still a little butt hurt about losing the position to me.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Anyway that\u2019s for the day, for now at least.<\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
