Was it beta shift already? In a few seemingly few short hours it would be gamma followed by alpha. The days seemed to have swept by suddenly.
Busy was good, busy kept the mind working on things but even so it tended to drift.

"Well, the past week or so has been an interesting one. We lost our Executive officer and my Assistant Chief Medical Officer all at the same time along with a wonderful nurse. Each and everyone of them managed to move to new positions and hopefully something better. I miss them all.

Tuula has moved into the spot vacated by Mott and though the test was hard she managed to work at it and make it through and is now my Assistant in the medical division.

Of course with the departure of Holiday it left me as the highest ranking person under the Admiral and thus I took over Executive Officer duties at least temporarily. It reminded me of my time on the Firebird. That was both hectic, exciting and full of important decisions but ultimately I felt more at home just being a doctor.

We picked up a bunch of new people. One of whom was the new Executive Officer. I have not had chance to really interact with him much and so will be getting a footing yet but he seems well suited.

With all of that said, while I am not one to seek such things, I received promotion to full Commander and not only that the Admiral has asked me to act as Second Officer as well. I am very honoured.

However, that was not all. There is the Cardassian security officer. We almost lost him due to an attack. Tuula managed to get things patched up but he is in grave condition. I must admit that I feel for all my patients but I also have to admit that there is a growing foundness as well. I must be careful though, too many times I have hoped, or managed to get close only to have those hopes dashed like angry waves against the cliffs near my home.

Ah well, if he recovers he will probably or already has his sights on someone else.

Still my hopes creep through like the little snow flowers pushing away the cold snow and lifting their green hands toward the blessings of the Twins in a High Spring Day.
