I did a good deed, today. I saved a little girl in the midst of chaos and people pressing in in fear and confusion, a stampede of self-preservation and selfishness ( Read more... )

It's been a week already, on my TDY. The work is repetitive yet deeply satisfying. The city has a dusty warm scent that comforts me to my bones. The people here are quietly polite, they speak to you with an intimacy when prompted that makes me feel at home where ever I go. When I desire solitude, they seem to sense it and welcome me with a ( Read more... )

I have had the last three Mondays off of work. The first, I used my certificate for Physical Training Excellence. When you get above 90/100 points on your PT Test, you get this certificate saying how you rock and you can redeem it for a day off of work, so I used it. The following Sunday, I came into work to help the Unit Deployment Managers do ( Read more... )

My orders have been cancelled. I have a day to think about what I want to do about it. I can try to get them reinstated, but there is no guarantee that I will get the same orders.

I will simply enjoy it, savor it to the best of my ability. I just can't help it but focus on the good things of today ( Read more... )

I am sick! Ugh!! I think with all the stress going on, it all came to a culmination and my immune system said "FUCK YOU!". They let me off early yesterday, and I slept over 19 hours! When I woke up, I still felt like just rolling over and sleeping for a good 24 or 25 hours. Oh well. Today should be relatively easy going, even though it will ( Read more... )

I hope this doesn't last long... I'm not made to sit at a desk. I keep having to leave it and forage for entertainment or lollipops. I need to work. To get dirty. To pull cable. Splice something. Terminate anything. At least laugh with Eric and Nolan, Romeo and Chile. Something! At least Jackie has lollipops and my friend is here to talk ( Read more... )
