Wow, where did the time go? Life has been busy, but a good kind of busy. It looks like I may be leaving my university DPS job soon and starting with the parks police. The pay is about the same but there are better benefits and heavier caseload. It's not that I don't love dealing with drunk college kids and doing larceny reports, but I want a more challenging position (much increased jurisdiction will be nice too).

Overall things are pretty awesome! The apartment is furnished (mostly) and in a couple months I'll be time to sign another lease on it. No troubles at all at work- I honestly love my job. I'm in no rush to leave and will definitely miss the people I've been working with but there's no way I would forgive myself for passing up on a great opportunity. On the subject of jobs, JakeyInu's been working a lot again recently which is good. Better is that he's usually home when I am so no time lost cuddling his cute face!

So yeah, about a full year now of normal civilian life. It's kinda remarkable how little the 5 years I spent in the military come up in my mind. I had expected that a lot of things would be hard to adapt back to, but for the most part I've mostly just forgotten all the time wasted in barracks or standing in formations. I can safely say it's everything that I had hoped it would be when I was enlisted. Today is one of my days off, so on that note I think I'll go do a shot to this next year in the real world being just as successful. B]
