Tanks

I haven't posted in a while. The main reason is because I have started a new job and when I get home I don't really spend a lot of time on the computer. It's summer baby, lots to do.
I first want to say that I feel really blessed and very thankful to the Lord. I feel like things are finally starting to make sense. It's a good thing. I am also thankful to my Dad and his friend Sue who worked really hard to get me this job. And the good news is I like the job, a lot. I feel productive and it's nice not having people yell at me all day. I am working at General Dynamics, they are a defense contractor for the government. I work for the Land Systems part of the company, we make tanks. I don't personally make the tanks, but without me the tanks wouldn't get made. Well without someone doing my job. I am not a big fan of war, so this was an interesting job for me to take, but I do believe in defense and know that what I do and the choices the government makes are not the same.
The best thing about my job is that it's not micromanaged hell. It's weird being able to go to lunch when your hungry and to get up from my desk when I need to without people keeping time of how long I've been away. I feel like I am much more productive which is what the micro-managers think is what they produce but they don't.
It's been a busy summer, but fun for the most part. Hope you are all enjoying your summer.
