Do that. Squeeze every last moment out of this experience. Then do the same thing in the FTO program. Then do the same thing on the street. I'm almost 36 and have been doing this for 14 years now, and I can tell you it flies, and I can tell you this career can be as much as you make it to be. I've traveled to Europe because of this job, have had lunch with a former CIA director because of this job, and sat on the lawn of the Capitol listening to a president give a speech, because of this job. But more than that, I've worked with (and still work with) some of the most amazing, dedicated people this country could produce. So keep that one line you wrote, and reflect on it often. It will pay off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505614622662842482.post-27330971497022263982011-02-08T05:56:40.164-08:002011-02-08T05:56:40.164-08:00Oh Blue. I laughed so hard too. However I do reme...Oh Blue. I laughed so hard too. However I do remember you getting locked out of your van and then mananging to get back into it...I believe it had something to do with a coat hanger and actually hooking onto the keys through the window which was cracked open? I could be wrong on the details, but I do remember you were successful. ;) You are nothing short of resourceful.John Rambo's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03048966415678046524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505614622662842482.post-27195095543916876412011-02-07T21:31:17.116-08:002011-02-07T21:31:17.116-08:00I haven't laughed so damn hard in quite a whil...I haven't laughed so damn hard in quite a while.<br /><br />Dude, they're gonna give you a ration of sh*t. And it's good to get it over with on the first day. Because there will be plenty who will come behind you and get the same amount, but for being bad at their job, not just nervous and doing silly stuff.<br /><br />Wishing you peace and reminding you that you'll rock it. ;)Meadowlarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208672418814503032noreply@blogger.com
