I had somewhat of an epiphany last night. I had a good time with Randy, dinner, a walk on the beach, well a holo-beach, even a brief kiss. It was a good first date. At least it seemed like a date. But there's a problem. I've had plenty of first dates, some good some bad, but nothing ever seems to work out for me.

Okay, that wasn't the epiphany, I've known that for sometime and frankly, it kind of pisses me off. So, I'm not calling a wedding planner, or even trying to decide on when or if Randy and I are going to, well you know.

Here's the (simulated drum roll) epiphany, I've been trying to hard and focusing on the wrong thing. I haven't slacked off in my job, or mailed it in. In fact, I've made a pretty good effort and tried to bring my A game. At least most days.

But I want more. I want more out of life than just to be some non-com opps guy. I used to help run a corporation, for Universe sake, I have leadership abilities and mad tech skills. I think I have what it takes to be an officer and to really make this a career, not just some kind of stopgap position.

I'm going to talk with the Captain about it, first chance I get.
