November Update

I know it is December, but I wanted to update everyone on last month.  I started the month coming off a long three week vacation, not going any where, and going right into training on the Elite Desk at work.  The Elite Desk is working with the Airline Frequent Fliers who have special statues of Gold or Platinum.  This is also booking with our partner carriers around the world using miles earned.  I have just two more days of training and they let us on our own.  I have learned a lot about miles and the new system that I trained on in September.  I am one of two guys in a class of 24 people.

 I don't really want go over my Thanksgiving again.  But if you want to read about about it, click on  the link Thanksgiving 2015.  I don't think I have eat that much in a very long time.  Went in to work the next day and they still had food left over from the day before.  So I had two lunches that day.  And more Apple Pie!!

 I started dating a few people this month.  I have never dated more than one person at once.  This was a new concept to me.  Well I am back down to just one.  I never knew dating would be so hard.  Wanting till the new year to start back up again.

 For the past few months, I have had some financial problems.  This steams from credit card debt.  They started garnishing me wages in June.  I was going to declare bankruptcy, and work on it on my long vacation.  At the end of September, I found out that the union had finished talks with the airline and  that I would be getting a really good raise.  No need to file for bankruptcy.  But I had to wait 2 long months and after a vote from the union, I will be getting that raise on the Christmas Eve check.  It has been some long suffering times, and hope to catch up with my bills and the dating and travel!

No one really knows the really me!

After having a interview with a church leader last weekend, I am tired of people assuming that they know me.  That I keep on being told, I am make poor decisions in my life, when they have no I did what I have gone through or what I am dealing with now.  Really did not need this in my life right now, when in just a few weeks I come out of training and start my normal schedule for the next few months.

Feeling left behind

Over the past month I have been to two baptisms, two farewells and a home coming.  It reminds me of what I do not have in my life, children.  I also have had my 44th birthday, which I spent on my own.  My marriage of 22 years is gone, and I really have nothing to show that I am here. But I have been living some what an oddity in the Mormon Church.  Having been married for so long, with no kids, you just don't get the feeling that you are part of the church family.  I have set in many a Priesthood Class, hearing the teacher tell how special it is to be a father, and how closer to God you are.  I really have not made a lot of friends in these wards, because I have no  kids that are in the same Primary Class, Sunday School Class, or Mutual. It even feels like the newly married couple, when they do get pregnant, that they are now one up on me. A few years ago, our Ward did away with the Family Camp Out.  But what stayed were the father/daughter and the father/ sons camp outs.  For

My Political Life.

In 2008 I received a degree in Political Science from Arizona State University.  When I was think back in high school what I would major in, it was down to history and political science.  I did not see very many career opportunities.  With political science, I could see myself serving in the Government.   I really want to work for the State Department, hopefully in an embassy some where around the world.  Plus I always had been interesting in politics. In 1976 I wrote then, new elected Jimmy Carter a letter, saying so much congratulating him for becoming the President.  OK,  I was seven, and I thought it was great that a guy from Georgia, at that time the state next door to Tennessee, was President.  I got a note back from him, thanking me writing.  OK, so the signature probably was done by auto pin, and some how a chocolate stain got on it, probably from a fudge bar, this is still one of my priced pieces. All through school, I wanted to serve as one of the class reps to Student Co
