Surfing Sand Dunes?

Alas, a change of pace! A topic to write on and a new step in my life... A BRAND NEW CARRR! Well, a van; a utility van that has my company's name on the side. I'm still excited. So excited, that I'm tired by 5pm today. It's tiring trying to break a van in with car-dancing on the hour drive to Crestview and back, completely worth it though. My 2011 E-150 is actually very nice, and a gas card that lets me fill 'er up on the company's dime is muy excelente. There's enough space for a hammock in that thing!... *sidenote: I may or may not put up a hammock in my van. ...ok... yeah i did that.

I'm truly excited about outfitting the auto, as I get a day's worth of fun organizing activity. If you know me, you know I'll thoroughly enjoy this, no sarcasm. Continuity hasn't been my strong point in the series of blogposts I write, but I'm going to step it up. I've been researching different cities that have branches of Siemens, and wish I could easily decide on just one. The van wouldn't come with me, but in another city I'd get a new vehicle all over again. The true deciding factors are things like: quantity and quality of soccer leagues, weather, urban sprawl, presence of mountains and/or surf, job openings (obviously), and dog-friendliness. These ideas spawn very strange daydreams. Imagining myself as a field electrician in Cornella de Llobregat, Spain; or a field specialist in Perth, Australia; or (better yet) a wind power sales manager in Cairo...
Pictured below is Catalan Bay... where I COULD be wiring HVAC controls and such.



These aren't quite daydreams as much as they are career options now. All of these are real jobs in my field, at my company. Siemens is so widespread that it hurts to think about. After three years, my options become unlimited, as almost all the positions need an employee that's been three years with the company. I had a huge yearning to become a military man, but that's all but vanished. My dad was one, his dad was one, and I'm going Gaga-breakout ridiculous (within my family anyway) if I don't serve. I was born this way baby.
