To Catch The Attention of Cats Everywhere

So it's been an eon since I've blogged...  this is bad.  I've stopped writing my book as well... also bad.  However, I'm here now and will tell about my insane nervousness ...  Why am I nervous?  Well, because I had to talk to my past fire chief this morning to get his blessing to rejoin the department.  He's a tough cookie if you're on his bad side.  Why would I be on his bad side?  Well you see, I'm divorced now, but used to be married to his protege... yeah, easy way to get on the bad side.  So, the outcome was uneventful, he's just going to see what my status is at present and let me know if I need to fill out a new application, or if I can just be reinstated.  Reinstatement would be good... less BS.  I really want to continue my fire training and be able to keep up with con ed's for my EMT.  The longer I am away from the fire department, the more I realize how much I miss it.  I don't see myself running calls, but I will definitely attend training at every chance I get.  Once I'm done with school, I will also be very interested in helping with various committees... (did I spell that right?).  *sigh*  It's over now, the nervousness I mean.  My only jitters left are renants of caffiene.  fun.

Onto bigger and better things!  I finished up my Technical Writing class last night... great class - I love English.  Not that you know that from my bloggs... they are all grammatically incorrect, I'm sure.  I don't think of myself as a grammar super-star, but I think I've got a fairly good handle on it.  Anyway, I digress...  Two more classes to go, and one clep - then I'm out... done, finished - I'll have my BS in Business Administration - in this case, BS may just stand for what you think it does.  Then I'm off to what?  New job, more money, more respect (yeah, right), more responsibility??  Who knows...  except... I know I'm going back to school - and no, not for my masters... (don't think I'm nuts)  I'm going for a BA in Game Design.  How cool will it be to be able to put my creative ideas into practice?  Or to be part of a team that works with the very things that I love?  I'm a geek, I know...  I'm not ashamed to say that if I could play video games for a living, I'd do it in a heartbeat.  Hey, I've looked into becoming a game tester, but I can't justify it because the jobs are too far away, and the money just isn't there - compartively to my current compensation.  So, I need to go to school and try to break into the industry on a different level.  I'd like it to be the creative side, but I'm also drooling to learn how to program and just may find out that I love it.  We shall see.  How does this all fit into my long-term goals??  hum... long term goals...  Well, for now, my only long-term goals are to continue to make the same amount of money - or more, and get my butt out of debt... raise my lil girl well, and live.. just live.  :) 

Hey all... I'm out for now - no guarantees when I'll get back, but hopefully sooner than last time!

~Peace~
