Filler

You ever notice how almost every blog/journal/personal-news/etc site has a “Sorry I haven’t written anything recently” post?

Here’s one from me.

Basically, I’ve been riding life’s coat-tails for the past month. Working. Sleeping. Working. Traveling to work.

Which is to say that, had something interesting come up, I would have wrote about it.

For those of you that need more detail (and really, who wouldn’t?), here they are:

  1. Received my c-cards (kind of like a driver’s license for scuba diving).

  2. Signed up for my advanced open water course. 5 different kinds of dives and one additional specialty to add to the list.

  3. Seriously considering charging forward toward Dive Master. It requires a few additional courses, but I’m up for it.

  5. Got a new black and white machine at work (Xerox 4110). Awesome and super fast. Especially when you run Cornwall through it (Cornwall is a type of semigloss cardstock). Too bad it doesn’t know when it has completed a job.

  6. I’d write about the new coworker and how she’s showing everyone but me up at work. But that would make her feel self-concious and everyone-else jealous. So I won’t.

That’s it for now. Later.

    After going through both training programs (YMCA and PADI), I will never buddy with a PADI diver….not safe!

    Brad: Everyone is entitled to there opinion. I’ve heard a few people say that about PADI. More than that, I believe it comes down to the person and their immediate instructor (in anything, not just diving). If your instructor sucks ass, then you won’t get what you signed up for.

    I’ve also heard that learning to dive in cold water (non-tropical) makes you a better diver too.

    I feel extemely lucky to have the instructors and buddies that I do. I’ve seen nothing to suggest that they aren’t unsafe. In fact, my immediate instructor turns us around the moment one person hits 1500 psi. We always leave the water with plenty of air to spare.

    Confidence comes from the person, not the system.
