Countdown to Work

by lacqui on July 12th, 2009

Well, my parental leave is almost up.  One week from now, I will be getting ready for my first day back on ship.  I don’t know what kind of schedule we have coming up, nor would I publish it here if I did – I respect OPSEC.

I do know that it will be a bit of a shock.  I’ve had almost nine months off work, spending time with the family and bonding with my newborn.  He’s getting huge now.  I’ve been here for several milestones in his life, but I’m not looking forward to missing milestones as I go out to sea.  I’d love to hear his first words or see him take his first step, but I’ve already been here for his first haircut, his crawling, his first trip to emergency, and some rather insane babbling :)   All-in-all it’s been a good time, yet all too short as these times often are.

    Hey, you use abbr and acronym tags. YOU ARE AWESOME.

    Do you also use XFN rel tags to denote relationships?

    (OH MY GOD I AM SUCH A NERD.)

    Of course I use abbr and acronym – I use a few abbreviations that the majority of people don’t know. And nothing in computers or the military is complete without a long acronym, or usually a backronym.

    I don’t use XFN (yet), thanks for pointing me there.

    And yes, you’re a nerd. I seem to recall meeting you as a computer lab regular in junior high?
