Offshore time is coming up again. 
I have two jobs back to back starting late this week or early next week. At least this time I get to be the nightime supervisor for the shift.
I have the wierdest job in the world. I accuired skills in school that I never even use in my job. I was trained to design circuits and computers. What do I do now? I install $50,000 electronic gauges miles into Earth to monitor the pressure and temperature of oil and gas reserviors.
Sounds exciting huh? It can be but usually not. Sorry for the rant, I'm sure none of y'all even care.

I actually kind of like being strange, it gives me a uniqueness. And if nothing else, it provides people with a laugh now and then.
We will run out of sources of fresh water and fight over them long before someone in my field could create a SkyNet a la Terminator.
It's just not going to happen. And this is coming from someone who DOES believe that we can develop AI. This makes a believer in what the field calls 'Strong' AI.
My ambitions with just AI are pretty humble. At most I'd like to perhaps, create 'weak' AI for games or applications.
I have other dreams of course.
