Well, just found out yesterday that an employee for the same agency I work for was killed over in Afghanistan. I realize that people are killed in Afghanistan everyday, that is not lost on me. This one struck a nerve.
I was supposed to deploy to Afghanistan this month. At the last minute I chose not to, due to career advice I had received. It was hard to turn down the opportunity to double my salary in 6 months, but that was my decision. In light of this news, I'm realizing that it was probably the right decision.
Since I am still in the states, I am partaking in a research study for HD. Nothing major, just longer annual appointments, that the study will pay for. The first one is, like, 5 hours long. It's a series of tests and brain scans and such. I always get so nervous doing the tests, which leads me to screwing up and looking like a baffoon.
This post has been all over the place. Sorry about that. A lot on my mind, I guess.
