Busy-ness.

Its more than a state of mind – it’s a country all its own!!

At work I have been in training; full-time if you count 7 hours/day as such; this schedule will continue until July.  

To describe the new information as enlightening; well … I’d say it’s the difference between seeing the stars from the city or driving far from the street lights into the darkest part of the country field and turning off the headlights – then looking up and discovering what the night sky is all about – WOW!!!   Who knew there was such a vast amount of data, support and tools to perform my job!!

I love learning new things… I’m having fun investigating dead trails and finding a hint of new data which may lead another direction; best of all the adrenaline rush from updating case information and clearing alerts from my caseload!  =)   Woo hoo, found another one.

My trainer reminds me that I’m doing well for being the newest CSI on the block!   (Not that I chase criminals, but  “child support” is a great cause.) 

 

Technology allows my trainer to be 45 miles away with access to my screen and speaking to me by phone (long day wearing a headset); we discuss info on my computer screen while I logon to somewhere between 5-10 different security screens and verbally analyze, follow case leads, and narrative each case. 

So by the end of the day I am tired of viewing a glowing screen, speaking words, and typing yet one more password to gain access to yet another program; as much as my heart is blogging while I drive and sit by the pool to relax—I am barely able to recall those thoughts or to write something new, creative and/or slightly interesting.

 

Thus, if you’ve wondered why I’m still saying hello to the sunshine – well, I am still happy about that.  But, ultimately you’ve haven’t missed much if you noticed that I skipped the past two weeks.

 

International travel is exhausting and I hope to soon be leaving the country of Busy-ness and returning to my former state of simplicity with less baggage, presenting gifts of knowledge and gratitude.
