Goodbye To Snookums

In less than 3 hours, I'll be saying goodbye to Snookums.
I'm making a big deal out of it now, but I know that when
he does actually leave, it will be business as usual
around here. Minus one. I can tell that he's not happy
about leaving. Everything he's done in the past 24 hours,
he's done like it's for the last time. But on the other
hand, I can sense some excitement on his part. He's
looking forward to making such an important step in his
career. I'm excited for him. Since I've known him, he's
complained about always being at the bottom of the food
chain (as far as the chain of command goes). Now, he's
climbed a few rungs closer to the top. His Commanding
Officer told him that this trip is an educational
experience for him and that when he gets back, he'll be
taking over part of the Navigation division while his
First Class takes leave to get married and then ultimately
for good when his First Class transfers next summer.
Snookums is proud of himself, but scared at the same time.
I'm proud of him, too. It's nice seeing him have pride in
his career, again.

I'm going to make him a good breakfast before he leaves.
I'm starving myself, so I better get on it! Ciao for now.
