Not every adventure is a good one

I must apologize to all you out there. Once a week is my goal for posting frequency, and it has been over 2 weeks. My bad. As expected, Jake's wedding was off the chain. I could talk about how good the food was at both the rehearsal (steak) and wedding (seafood pasta, etc.), but the people present were great. I saw lots of folks I hadn't seen in quite awhile and it was good to see Jake and Amanda tie the knot. I feel honored because I was a groomsman and the wedding party was fun.

I guess I haven't talked much about work lately so I should update you on how that is. I am finishing Phase 2 of my training which means on November 9 I start "school" in Newport News at Northrup Grumman shipyard. I basically keep learning the same information about how the reactor works over and over again, only this time it is taught by the experts. That is the technical side of how work is going. This past week was Drug Free work week, which I am so glad is over and I can go back to drugs at work. Also, there was a mass email about how medical marijuana is legal or not. For about 2 hours, many people hit "reply to all" and there was a great argument going on. Quite hilarious. I was also told at work this week by an older guy that since I'm 24 I should be "making babies." I guess I'll start working on that. What an awkward thing to be told by a person you don't really know at all.

After Jake's wedding, I realized I didn't have to look good for anybody for a little while, so I grew a mustache. I can see you judging me through this computer screen. So I'll calm your fears. Yes, I admit it does look terrible. Really terrible. It is not a permanant fixture upon my face. I can only look in the mirror so many times before I throw up.

I got the flu this week. The flu sucks. Hooray for green phlegm.

Watch this, it's funny:
