Training

This week I am in training for a law enforcement standard XML data model. Borrrring. It’s like returning to some of the poorer college classes where the lecturer has zero charisma and continually appeals for audience participation to deaden the empty echoes of his droning voice. Like any good audience, though we know all the answers to the questions, we refrain from speaking up so that we may watch him squirm. On the plus side of this seminar: free food!

Last month, without comment because I forgot about it, my blog turned two years old. What a medium-length, not particularly strange trip it has been.

Also, this weekend my body turns 29 years old. Ancient! I’ve spent a small amount of time mulling what to do with my life now. I didn’t expect to spend more than a couple of years up here in NoVA, yet now I have a house here and a successful career. But do I want to be here five years from now? I’m not so sure. At any rate I feel like I should be doing something, like getting a master’s, learning to rollerblade, or applying for my Brazillian visa.
