One More Week...

[tspencer227]

So we're currently out to sea, still, from the last time I wrote.

Three days ago we broke the ship's previous record for the most consecutive days out to sea.

We have 7 days left.

Needless to say, people are starting to get a bit on edge...we've already had a few fights break out between people in the division- when you work with this many guys in this close of a proximity for as long as we have, people start learning each other's buttons really quickly, and then you get the meddlers who like pushing them, just to see what happens. And everybody, after all, has their own breaking point.

On a happier note, I think Amy and I are averaging 3 or 4 emails each per day, whenever I get chances to sneak away for a bit and hop on the computer, usually pretending to do "real" work- ah, it's good to be the boss. :) Even though we miss each other terribly, this has been a really good test of our relationship thus far. We've gotten to know each other a lot better, and the communication couldn't be better. I've admitted things to her that I've never told another living soul about, and I know she's done the same with me. Granted, I've never had a problem talking to her about anything, but this just seems to be a whole new level...

One more week, then I'm back in San Diego.

For a little while.

And Amy will be there waiting for me. :)

I envy you, Ted :)

So, any single Navy guys you could throw my way?

Funny you should mention that...Amy's roommates and friends have been asking me the same thing. When I get back in town, we'll have to arrange a get- together, I think. :)

be careful about emailing while working... it wouldn't do to be found out by one of your subordinates and then they'll think you're up to that all the time... but more importantly, emails are a matter of public record if you work for the gov't... so don't let anything happen on your watch.

Well, most of my work is down in the plants, where the only computers we have are the Reactor departmental LAN, which has no email capability. When I'm in the office (where we have unclass computers), it's to update maintenance schedules or take care of other work. That, and they've made a HUGE deal out of what we send out, so we're all careful. Thanks, though.

hey there elevator buddy... as usual, I don't know where your address is, but I see you're doing well and that is good to hear! I'm still in the boonies of Lincoln Co. Are you going to Will's wedding? Just a thought... Let me know!

Anna!!! Wait a second...which Will are we talking about here??? I know you don't mean Will Sherrill, do you??? Shit, I didn't even know about it- moving out here to the Left Coast, and spending so much time out to sea has seriously put me outside of the loop...when the hell did all this happen? And better yet, how the hell are you??? Shoot me an email- spencerem@cvn76.navy.mil- I haven't talked to you in ages!
