MEN

Why do men have such ego issues? How hard is it to humble yourself and offer to assist someone? They may not want your help, or maybe grateful for your help. If you don't ask though, that could be interfering and they have a different solution in mind. Just sayin.........

Night off

I had a wonderful night off last night.  Cooked dinner for my family and did my laundry then parked my butt on the couch and watched Burn Notice, Suits, Covert Affair...Covert Affair was rather silly in my opinion.  But I love BN & Suits.

Work is really quiet today. Going to be a long day

Groupon

Yeah Groupon finally called me. Will be having an ad break the 2nd week of August! Woot woot!

training

Had underwater training this past weekend with a phenominal instructor, Butch Hendricks.   I met Butch several years ago and had been trained in 2009 with LGS Rapid Deployment SAR.  Butch is like a SCUBA GOD, not to be blaspheming.

He would see all and know all: all the breath counts, the depth's and the positioning of all in the water, whereas the tender wasn't even able to tell where his diver was.


He told me, I was holding the team together. The team would fail without my strong personality keeping it together.  Another person may have puffed up proud of that statement, but that scared the hell out of me. I didn't want that kind of pressure knowing if I fail the team fails. 

But I watched, observed and learned a lot from our training. 

#1) I need to be more agressive and be more leadership material and learn to delegate.

#2) The team needs to get back to the basics.  We need to remember what we are doing and how to accomplish our goals.

#3) We need to find our nitche again.  We used to be one of the top sonar teams in the country.  With today's modern technology and lower prices of technology, we do not hold that status any more

I really feel purposeful right now. Like for this moment in time, I am where I need to be, doing what I need to be doing. Tomorrow this may change.
