Jeez, so its been a year and a half since I posted on here. Not like anyone on here reads this but I find it therapeutic. So here is a bit of my life right now...
Finished a seven month deployment back in September and enjoyed traveling the world on the high seas and visiting places, however being away from my wife and kid were hell. Its great to be back and bond with them. Even had to deal with the problems of being away that arose, but I could ask for a better wife and mother for my child.
Had an opportunity to try and do an early transition to reserves so instead of being full time Navy I could just be part time to have more time with my family. unfortunately the jobs that were promised me upon trying to get out fell through and from my council I was told to just finish my time in the Navy then continue from there. The problem with that is I am getting screwed were I work right now. My bosses don't care enough about the people, and the people don't care about the job. I am a supervisor that actually cares about the job and the people, but the situation I have been put in is one of complete failure. If we fail, we get no days off work, then on top of that to prevent failure I have to check everything. So now I pick up the slack for those who don't care or listen to me. And because I am doing everything I can to prevent everything from screwing up I always stay late, I have absolutely no time to train for my future position which I will get reprimanded for, and am always so stressed from work that I can't sleep well or interact with my family nearly at the level I need to be. This place is truly hurting my whole life. And I am sure I probably would really enjoy DC if it weren't for where I work. I am proud of the work I do and the job I have, but the place I work is sending me to an early grave. Its sad. I need to be creative to survive and be mentally well and this job doesn't allow me to do that.
In other news my wonderfully gorgeous wife is preggo for round two. So exceptionally excited. I just talked one of my councilors today in life and work about it. I explained that I am really hoping for a boy still, but if I have another girl like my daughter then I could be just as happy. its really hard getting over being a dad. So many small little moments just blow you away.
In the mean time of dealing with work I am going to be exploring new mediums for art. Some new ones to look out for is jewelry design and knitting while still expounding on my drawing, carving, and my photography. I got a build your own camera for Christmas and it looks fantastic. Just got the opportunity to build it last week so know I am so proud and jazzed to try it out.
I am thinking about starting a blog to focus my energies and work on there. Not sure yet. I mean you see how long it took me to write again on here.
