This--->
Yesterday night I was told not to come in to work an hour prior to leaving with my whole uniform on ready to go. This was just all of a sudden, and then the person who called me told me to come in the next morning. Keep in mind, my sleep schedule was already set for night shift. So, I have all this time not knowing what to do and can't sleep cause I have to be in at work by 0600 the next day. In the end I go through the day on 2 1/2 hours of sleep with no day shift, because they had the day off and doing the bulk of what's left to do. At least we have tomorrow off... (corrected) ...the other workers on my shift. Epi along with myself and a driver have to come in at 1700 tomorrow and redeploy and baby-sit weapons. Who knows how long that will take. Then, we have to come into work the next day. That'll be a full seven days of work.
The other thing is that I'm worried about my troop. Basically the cops were too fuckin slow to help him out and now he's paying for taking the matter into his own hands. None of it was his fault, I'd do the same thing. I'm going to help him out as much as I can. It's been years since I was in the dorms and things over there are looking way too ghetto, complicated, childish it makes me sick. What kinda a bullshit is this.."if I write a statement, I'll get found and targeted." Mind you, this is military people on other military.
On a lighter note
There's this on going lingo at work that I'm partly responsible for. Epi used this term
HARDCORE as the adjective: "I can stand 4 hours in the rain, because I'm
hardcore like that." And it started and grew from there with movie rating terms....."this guy is softcore, but not as NC-17 as me."...and then to movies...."You're so deep throat after standing out in the rain to my red shoe diaries ass sitting in the warm truck."
Another thing is I get to work with "buff guy" Travis, whom I know from a good friend. He's really good peeps and to pass the shitty time, we quote
Pulp Fiction, specifically Jules and Vincent....My favorite is the
Bonnie situation.
Tomorrow, I go bowling to ease my mind.
i miss you butterflies
