I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm actually making progress! Doing productive stuff and whatnot, so I figured it was time to redo this section... last time it wasn't all too positive. So, I'm the Chris. And, I'm special. Why? Cuz I say so. And, I'm always right. Just ask me!
I think my defining characteristic is that I do pretty well at not making the same mistake twice (whether I made it, or I've seen someone else). Unfortunately that makes me a bit over-cautious and I guess I make excuses not to meet new people (hence being single for nearly 3 years now). But, I'm getting a lot done that I've been putting off for too long. I should finish paying off my student loans this year, and be able to go back to work on a teaching certification. It may not pay as much as working on airplanes, but I'd be happier doing it.
So, other than work, I'm pretty into religion. I'm one of them scary door knockers (the JW kind, not the mormon kind)... but I don't really knock on people's doors (always thought it was a bit too invasive, so I look for opportunities where people come to me and actually want to talk). Kind of awkward combination, I guess, but I'm also a gamer at heart... boffers, D&D, you name it... if it would get you ostracized in a high school, it floats my boat. I think I'm drawn to both sides because I've always looked at things from a different angle. "Typical" is just boring. I'm most attracted to things most people overlook.
Hrm... what else is interesting... One time, when I was 11, my grandpa left me on some random island in the middle of the alaskan ocean (not the "middle" I guess, but far enough to not see land any more)... so I got bored and rolled a log into the water to use as a raft to check out another li'l island that wasn't that far away, so I figured "What could happen?" ... and then an unreasonable amount of jellyfish just showed up out of nowhere and I almost got eated. But I made it to the li'l island... and stepped on a rock fish. And... THAT ruined my day. Actually... now that I think of it... I'm pretty sure that was in June. That's when everything bad happens, apparently. But that's a depressing story. And, that's why I don't trust the lady-folk. No, sir.
Anywho, I get a promotion tomorrow (with a 50% pay raise, oh yea)... but that means waking up at 6:00.... A.M! So, I'm doing the passing out thing now.
I exist here:

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'm fine talking to anyone who's at all intellectually or spiritually stimulating. Or at least capable of an entertaining conversation. In depth, or random. I don't really care as long as it can give me one more reason to put off sleep.

My Blog

Boeing or ATS?

So, I have not very long to make my decision between Boeing and ATS.  I'll make a buck/hour more at ATS, plus no union fees... but looks like I'll be stuck back with my old lead... And he's consistent...
