I'm Done

Scottieholics! Salutations! It has took me a while to let this soak in. Usually, something I had anticipated for will get me excited and have me bouncing against the walls. But since I've been preoccupied with other things job and business related, I barely gave it a second thought. Now, I figured why not let you Scottieholics know about what has occurred a month and some change back. I would've posted a YouTube video with power point slides and generic disco music. Unfortunately, I had a nice reminder from YouTube about posting licensed music without permission. That's one of those things that would immediately abort the idea. Does it suck? Yeah, but it is what it is. Moving on.

I'm completely done with the military. For the first time in 10 years, I'm a 100% full blooded civilian. Many often asked how does it feel. Well, for one it does feel good not to wear a uniform. I can go to work wearing a pair of Dockers, sneakers, polo shirt, and a hockey jersey. Also, I cannot forget about using the iron at least once a week. Fortunately, I have a dryer that takes out the wrinkles. Lastly, I have a very laid back work atmosphere where I can listen to my wrestling and hockey podcasts.

It would have been easier to do 20 years, but I feel it will be a bad omen to continue doing something my heart is no longer into. I did enjoy my years in the Air Force and will not trade them in for the price of tea in China. I built friendships and worthwhile experiences that will last me a lifetime. For those who have followed me since my 360 days, like any other blogger, I had my rants about some co-workers who were mean and/or insecure. Unfortunately, most work places will always have some meanie and/or some insecure slug. It is another sign the work place is the same as high school. Same crap, different toilet, go figure.

Interesting things will lie ahead for me. Perhaps since I have some more time on my hands, I'll continue tweaking this site and plug Scottropolis to the rest of the cyber community. 'Til the next time, arrivederci and Godspeed!
