Bleh....

I haven't posted in awhile and, to be honest, I really don't feel like posting today. I just feel I need to post something. I'm in a bit of a funk right now; in my life, in my job, in general. I'm not really depressed, or angry. Just bleh.

More classes...

On Monday and Tuesday, I had to take more classes. These were for a 1B Erosion and Sediment License (assuming I passed the test, of course). If I passed the test, I'll be certified to inspect construction sites to make sure they're using prope erosion control practices. It's not as exciting as it sounds, but, for better or worse, it'll give me something else to do at work.
