In the search for the Qwan!

Well the job search is in full throttle and a few opportunities have popped up here and there. The most intriguing is the fact that Exelon has extended me the job offer they gave me in November, the catch is that I have to wait until September until the job becomes authorized. So until then, I am fielding offers from around the country, literally. I have interviews lined up from Illinois to Mississippi and even up here in upstate New York.

I finally broke down and bought two new digital cameras this weekend: the Canon DSLR 40D and the Nikon S210. Having my one and only digital camera break down (Sony Cybershot DSC-P10) and my trip to New York City looming next month; I figured that now is a good time as any to get the camera I want. So expect a few new pictures on my Flickr site.

On the job search again.

Well five months until my EAOS, at which point the Navy has no choice but to let me go. It has been a roller coaster the last three years with the Navy being the focal instigator of displeasure. Since September last year, the command has been playing games with my tenure in the Navy telling me that they are letting me go, then turning around and changing their minds. They went so far as to giving me a separation date in December, at which I accepted on offer with Exelon to be a operation supervisor at their Nuclear Generating Station at Quad City for a 6 figure salary. Then two days later, the Navy (the command more specific) changed their mind. In the mean time, I have been working for MARF OCTG teaching officer and enlisted students fresh from Charleston. Its been a nice break from shift work and quite relaxing to be able to actually having weekends again. That leaves me with more time to go golfing, fishing, playing with Miles and Louis and to sit in front of the computer and waste my life away.


Last Saturday was the first time I caught a fish in over 20 years!! True, I have gone fishing many times and have had some epic battles with Salmon in Washington; but this time I would not be shut out. Okay, it is not like I reeled in some beauties; I got a 4 oz Perch and a 8 oz Bass ( and that is being generous on the size) but it is a start.
