Welcome to Evilness You may now call me God-Emperor
Or more accurately Commanding Officer. At a ceremony last night, presided over by the Lieutenant-Governor, command of my cadet unit changed over from the previous CO to me. This means that more of my free time will be sucked up by the cadet organization for the next three years. I am looking forward to the new challenge though, as I can now provide a different direction for the unit, should I see fit. It is also the culmination of a nearly 20 year career as a reservist. That being said, Mrs. Evil still laughs when I say that I'm thinking of retiring from the CF when my tenure as CO is done.
Moving
Well, we have the new house, and have been slowly moving for the past week. As of this morning we have most of the living room, dining room and library moved. Tonight we're moving the rest of the furniture and the washer and dryer. The phone switches over today and the cable (with the internet connection) switched last Sunday. I can't wait for it to be over.
So they gave me a medal.
Last night Mrs. Evil and I went to a ceremony where I and 36 other Albertans received the Alberta Centennial Medal from the Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. Now until the ceremony I only had a vague idea as to why I was receiving this honour. I knew that my commanding officer had recommended that the Lieutenant Governor nominate me for the medal, as he had told me as such (my CO is also an aide-de-camp to the Lieutenant Governor). I also knew that I was to get the medal, having received a letter from the Lieutenant Governor's office telling me as such. It wasn't until last night, however that I learned why.
New Year Starts
don\'t know if it\'s just because I\'ve spent so much time in school as both a student and now as a teacher, but the beginning of September always seems like the real start of the new year. The actual New Year\'s day just seem like an artificial construct by comparison (yes, I know that they both are arbitrary dates).
Spring Break!
One of the nice things about being a teacher is I get to go on spring break like the kids. The nicer thing about working at AADAC is that I don\'t have a ton of work to catch up on. So I\'ve been working on the model RR, wiring up the computer controls. Mrs. Evil and I also took a trip to Edmonton which was nice and relaxing.
