Since I started this blog on January
2, 2011, I have posted 432 entries, a bit more often than once a week. But the past few months, I have been
busy with what has turned into one of the best jobs I ever had. I work at
headquarters in the Texas State Guard.
Right now, I am on assignment with the Texas National Guard. It has been 20 years since I enjoyed work so much.
Everyone around me is 100%. Sure, things go wrong. Mistakes
happen. We own the problem and fix it. I have not heard anyone call someone
else stupid or lazy. The can-do
attitude is deeply learned and accepted. Yesterday morning, I saw a colonel
come down the hall, come to a door, square his corner with a left face, and
approach the door. We have
physical exercise facilities; and I can hear the weight machines being used all
day long. The one-mile outdoor
track is never empty, even in 100-degree heat. (Hydrate!) And this is an administrative
headquarters facility: human resources, information, logistics, planning, training,
and finance. Basically, it is just a bunch of office jobs. But everyone I have
met in four weeks is up for this.
My days are long. I have not been out with my telescope in four months. I am not watching the best Perseids in seven years. But what I do during the day is interesting and important. It just keeps me away from the keyboard.
