Nothing...but nothing irritates me more than ignorant non-veterans commenting (stupidly) on military affairs. Anyway...apologies to the esteemed Neal Stephenson for my swiping and modifying R.Waterhouse's meatspace co-ords. Hot as a bastard today...cool stuff at work (as usual). I never thought that I would keep a journal but what the hell...it will be fun to see how the new gig progresses. A bitch for today....sorry all you "software engineers"...you ain't real engineers ya damn code monkeys

Eyes about crossed from playing with a 3-segment collimator. Learned how to use a laser theodilite (sic fer sure). Pretty cool being a NY Yank in KA's court. This is SERIOUS engineering....I estimate a 9-12 month period befroe I can dream of being solo off site.

First day on the new job. Up far too fucking early thanks to screeching seagulls and the sun being up at 5 o'fucking clock in the am. I am starting to feel like Al Pacino in "Insomnia". Note to self....install blackout curtains already or face a move to a different longitutude.
