And the Abyss Ends. #016
Well, it certainly has been a while since I last posted here. (According to my login page, approximately nine weeks.)
I've been doing some things, I went to sea for a bit, came back, went back out. have come back in, went on leave. Went to Assembly, went partying and chilling, went out AGAIN, tore my calf, flew home, got TMU'ed for a week, stopped a ship from sailing, got sent back on leave and have sat here letting my leg recover while I've gone on a massive creative spree. I've been writing, designing new parts and areas for a game I play, and just playing a few RPG's in general.
And for the record, working with the USN /sucks/. Totally and utterly, crap, especially when you have to do it for a month. But thankfully that exercise is over. Came back for maybe a weekend, then went out for a week to support a ship for their Work Ups. Worst job ever.
Then the good bit, went on leave the day we got back in, ended up down in Melbourne and caught up with Alex, my best mate from when I was like 5 years old, I hadn't seen him since I joined the navy. We went and got drunk... then ended up back at his place.
I kicked him and his girlfriend out of their bed about mid-amorning to sleep in a proper bed to recover from my hangover.
Then we all got ready for Assembly. Heaven. Around 3 to 4 girls per guy in the club, a higher ratio if you took out the gay guys. And they were all dressed up in whatever resembled school. So the vast majority of them were dressed up as schoolgirls. One Hundred Percent Fetish!
I spent the next few days catching up with mates, chilling, relaxing, before moving into the city, staying in a hotel room, going out from there and stuff. Went to Heresy that Friday, along with Sunset.. the opening of a new club.. and tore my calf. It was UNFUN. Much unfun-ness. I heartily recommend not ever doing it.
But I caught up with my parents for brunch, then lunch Saturday morning, and they took me to the airport to catch my flight home. I managed to limp up to my room, whereupon I did not move until I had to leave for work Monday morning. My leg was still fucked, even then.
Went to the medics, and got made medically unfit for sea. Just a temporary thing, thankfully, because at the time of writing this, it still pains me but I can walk up stairs, wander around, but I just can't run or bounc up and down for long. BUT because of the amount of people in my department who got injured on the weekend, the ship went below critical levels.
So instead of going to sea, the place that holds people like me simply sent me on leave for a week. Fun! And for the benefit of those who care, the past 4 days of doing absolutely nothing mean that my calf has almost healed up fully, it's still a little sore, but it's workable once more!
