Veteran's Day

Going to work today, which is unusual for anyone who does government work. But so it goes when you are short a man and expected to the do the work of two. I'd complain to my boss, but hell, I'm really enjoying the work. Another rare situation that.

There is a good chance I'll be testing to my next belt level in shaolin next week. Possibly. I probably could have tested months ago, but I'm not the kind of guy that is there just to jump through the ranks and make black as quick as possible. But now the instructor has been hammering on me to test . . . so I guess I'm going to do it. Assuming I pass, that leaves just one more level of brown and then I test to black. Which honestly means that much, except that the real training starts at black. Whatever the case, I've really been enjoying it and man, such a great stress reliever.

Oh yea, as a follow up to that interview that I failed a few months back. Well, I have heard through various third parties that my name is actually a bad word at that company ?!?! How is that even possible, they didn't even hired me, I never filled out an employee application. I swear, that was the weirdest interview I have ever done.
