If only they were consistant in wasting my time
So yeah, figured I haven't posted in like a week so why the hell not right? Today was terrible because our first sergeant believes in mass punishment, except that he doesn't understand how mass punishment works. He kept us late like 45 minutes or so, which doesn't seem like much but when you're starting work at 06:30 every day and "working" until 1700 (a.k.a. standing around) that extra 45 minutes hurts. Which in retrospect I guess is one of the goals of mass punishment, HOWEVER it usually helps to let the people punished know WHY it is that they are being punished. To use my analogy, it's like when a dog pisses on the carpet. Sure, you can rub his nose in it, but unless the dog connects that the reason his nose is getting rubbed is related to the location that he urinated, he's goanna keep pissing on the carpet. Long story short nobody still knows why we had to stay late, or what the hell first sergeant was even talking about at the end of the day.
God, last week had like, 2 awesome days in it. The first day was the day I drew the awesome picture. The second was the day I got to go to the MK-19 range and fire the damn thing. I shot an expert, hit 9 out of 9 targets twice. I've been wanting to draw my second awesome picture about that day but we're like 50% actually busy doing shit and 50% sitting around, so I never have my pen and paper when I need it. I'm hoping either on thursday, or maybe one of my off days I will deal with it.
God this diet is working like crazy. They weighed me in today and I lost 12 lbs since the last time they weighed me. Cutting out the additives was definitely one of the better decisions I have made. I just wish that I hadn't been forced to couple it with one of the worst ones, going vegetarian. Strange thing is, I don't miss meat as much as I thought I would. Prolly cuz I eat in my room most of the time anyways. I did hang out with some peeps last weekend and stayed the night, then went to the beach with them. They went and got doughnuts, and instead of choosing the health choice of a bagel and milk I broke my diet for two reasons. One, I was slightly hungover and the last time I had milk with a hangover I threw up like twice. Seconds, I figured I could break the diet like, once a month and not worry about it. Turns out the doughnut made me sick to my stomach and I got a V-8 when they stopped at a drugstore to get sunblock. That fixed me right up. It just made me a little sad that the doughnut fucked with me like that, but I'm willing to believe it was because of the poison coursing through my veins, rather than the diet that was responsible.
