Two days into this week and not much has happened. Yesterday, I went to work, came back, and went to class. Our class was combined with the other class because our professor was gone. We talked about lobbying, campaign finance reform, and Citizens United v. FEC. This is the second time one of my classes has covered this material this year. This time I actually understood it. We also watched part of a Bill Moyers Journal special on Citizens United. It was kind of long but I enjoyed it.
Today was mostly uneventful. My boss found a box of 11x14 black and white pictures. I get the fortunate job of figuring out if they are duplicates or new. It is basically the same thing as I have been doing but slightly different. Most of the pictures have ID numbers on the back. I have to look these up and then see if they are actually in the files. The repeats get sent away. I got pretty far today but I still have a large stack to go through and then I have the ones that need more research. In addition, I have to do some research from emails. The best part of my day was my boss thanking me for working like I'm "actually going to get paid." :) Despite how it sounds, I actually like seeing all the pictures and learning stuff about ships and the Navy.
For the foreseeable future, Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are going to be like this, with exceptions in the evenings.
Basically all ships and their hull numbers. Aircraft carriers have the letters CV, if there is an N it means it is powered by nuclear energy. The USS Enterprise is CVN-65 and the USS Forrestal was CV-59. Subs are classified by SS, SSN is nuclear powered. I don't really know much about destroyers and battleships, much less how to tell the difference between sloops and schooners.
