Qualified

I finally qualified as staff two nights ago. I'm glad that's over with. I am now qualified as:

Electrical Operator, Shutdown Electrical Operator, Throttleman, Auxiliary Electrician, Radiation Worker, Damage Control Party Member, Asbestos Class III/O&M Worker, Quality Assurance Craftsman, 3M Maintenance Person, and NNPP Staff Instructor.

Wow.

The Nuclear Navy is big on lots of qualifications. The next ones I have coming up soon are: Shutdown Reactor Operator, Battery Charging Assistant, Battery Charging Electrician, ESF Electrical Operator, and Damage Control Petty Officer.

Lots of words that don't really say much. All each qual means is that I can be made to do more work that someone else doesn't want to do. :)

Tim is down visiting this weekend. I guess he's leaving this afternoon sometime. We had a good time despite the fact that I'm working mids and sleep most of the morning and afternoon after I get off work.

Still waiting to hear back from the seller of the house. They are out of town from what I hear. Hopefully I hear something next week.
