5 Minutes to Thailand
Finally!!!! A school that I tried for last year and failed, not just one test but the retest also has been put behind me today. I passed the test with flying colors and am totally relieved. You are asking yourself right now, " What the hell is this guy talking about?"
Here is the deal, you have 5 minutes to inspect 3 people with certain equipment on. On the equipment are kinks that could either hurt him, damage him, or kill him. You have 3 graders, 2 stop watches, and a video camera. On top of that, you have to find everything, call it by the right name, and do everything in a certain order. A TOTAL PAIN IN THE ASS!!!! It got me last year but I was not about to give into my nemesis this time. I completed the test in 4 minutes 30 seconds. Before I entered the testing area, I placed a piece of tape on my back. When I walked in, the people in the equipment saw it and started laughing, Once I turned around to start, I heard the graders snicker (in reality, I was trying to keep there attention off what I was doing for a few seconds). Once I completed it, one of the graders stated, "You have something on your back." I just said yeah I am the one who put it on there. The tape said " 4 ALL DA BEEEOOOCHES!!" Whew!
There were certain incentives to go along with passing (door #2) and not passing (door #1). In door #1 was the weekend off, extra time with the family, and a night of drinking my sorrows. In door #2 is working the weekend, a week of long hours, a 2 week trip to Thailand, a future promotion, and a night of drinking for celebration. Luckily, I picked door #2. As you can tell, Mr. Jack Daniel and I had a date no matter what. To top it all off, my wife had the majority of the laundry done (which never happens, I sometimes think she forgets what the floor looks like) when I got home. Everything looks so much brighter right now. RIGHT ON!!
When I called my wife with the good news I just told her " 5 minutes to Thailand!!" She got the hint. Until next time SAWADEE KAP!

Yeah, I finished that laundry...say my name B**CH!! Happy that you passed your test, not so thrilled that I have to lose you for another two weeks, but such is life. Love ya.
Do you two talk to each other face to face or has all the time apart made you not able to do other than talk via e-mail or phone? Whatever keep it up- the talking I mean! And Al, sometimes we women need to have alot of laundry around just to prove we are needed- yeah right- that sounds good.
Congrats on passing. Ok, how is it good you will be in Thailand for 2 weeks? HMMMM! Love, mom
(ps: I have heard about Thailand, in fact I am about to read the book "Bankok Tatoo", will have to let you know how it is)
Congrats on passing, I knew you were bummed last time. Try not to have too much fun in Thailand...I am so jealous.
Aren't you home now? And why aren't you blogging, I know we really want to hear from you. HUH HUH!!For some reason I didn't realize the Thai trip was for work. I thought it was for fun. That is why the cryptic note up above. Hope your body is feeling better.
Enjoy your time at home.
Love,
Your wonderful mom:)
