(and a day) since I intoxicated myself. I'm feeling proud. This past year has been different than the first year. I originally quit as somewhat of an experiment. I figured I'd drink a toast of champagne at weddings, or wine at communion, etc. Special occasions drinking.
I've since had a change of heart and became more strict with myself. In the words of George Thorogood, 'Do it right or don't do it at all!'
Big whoop.

You remember me saying:
how much I couldn't wait to get back in the Coast Guard command out of flight school. Well, I adore this job.
I'm on duty at a desk right now, which normally stinks. I do, however, get to listen to one of our C-130's and H-60's practice formation flight over UHF. I'm kicking myself for not volunteering but listening in fun too. For us Coasties, formation flights are a rarity but they’re flying it today for a memorial service.
It’s pretty sweet that they’re matching air speeds and giving a good showing. Both aircraft are really loud.

Daily annoyances:
I'm just glad I figured out how to post pictures again. The new, and much better, blogger format had the best of me...
This sink sucks. It's at work. Please conduct a brief survey of the sink setup. Notice: the soap's on the left. The hot handle is all the way in the what-would-appear-to-be the open position (NAY!). The cold handle looks promising (ALSO NAY; doesn't work). Think, how would you wash your hands here? Yes, you'd use your left hand to get foam soap (just about the only good
thing in this hand-washing experience) and then probably just use the cold water since the hot handle looks effed. You'd then find that no water comes out. Discouraged, you'd go for the hot water. Of course you'd want to use your left hand for that handle but if you did so, you'd get soap all over the handle. So alas, you're stuck reaching for the left handle with your right hand. This is tedious and annoying because it's a huge-ass handicapped sink. Not only are you peeved that you had to reach across, but now your sleeve and entire right arm gets soaked from the hot-ass water stream that surprised you with its Niagra-force.
Lastly, there are no paper towels in this stall 90% of the time.
AH-nnoying!
