Mixed Blessings
Well, the abundance of free time that I've had lately and that some of you have noted and speculated on should now be over. I had a great wake-up at 4:30 this morning so I could ride with another guy over to the airport to pick someone up. Fortunately, we didn't go out today then, so I was able to take a 4 hour nap. I'll probably not be on AIM quite as much now for those of you who enjoy talking to me on there, as I'll need to start getting back to bed earlier, and that's always so hard when the conversations are rockin' on IM.
In good news, the second half of my signing bonus came in, so I netted a cool $3k. I should probably also get a bit more when I file my tax return, as the bonus should actually be more like $4k, but, taxes were taken out of it as its from a bonus I signed for state-side (any bonuses you sign for over here at tax-free, just like the pay here).
Well, I need to go study a little bit, and then rack out. TeddY2K out!

Well, I for one am glad you got as much free time as you did. Now it's time to make up for it, I guess. Now maybe I can get some things done in the afternoons :) Stay safe.

It is a shame that you will have to cut back on the free time. I hope you will keep up with the posts as it is nice to know whats up, and the you are ok. Keep up with the x-box when you can. We will have to play when you get home. Stay safe man.

Hey, son.
Supposedly keeping busy helps the time go faster, but maybe sitting in the gun turret of a Humvee all day makes it seem slower.
Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, keep safe.
Hi Sean-
Hopefully you remember me...I spent some time with your sister on Saturday night, and she said you would be happy to hear from me. We'll see about that, right? :) I figure you might at least miss picking on me. I'm glad to hear that you are safe and doing alright. Hope to hear from you soon!

We will have to do some tax research on the "signing" bonus to determine whether it would be subject to tax or not. I will have someone here at the office check in to it.
Glad you had the free time, but I would tend to agree with mom that keeping busy makes time go faster.
Be careful out there.
