So today I was talking to a buddy in the IRC channel I idle in. It was the end of the work day, and it had been a good one, so in a jovial offhand way I said "another day in the books, another 80 tons of explosive blown up." I really didn't mean anything by it, but my friend(who is some sort of analyst in the defense industry) responded along the lines of how the metrics for my job were so cool. It was a pleasant little reminder that I so get to do cool stuff that most people will never get to do or see.
Anyway it really helped me since I have been a little down in the drumps since my trip home. Reminded me that I am doing cool stuff, seeing things most people will never see, and shouldn't be upset about it. I miss and love everyone back home, and I'm coming back sooner or later, but until then I should enjoy making things go boom and living down under.
