Good evening from the other side of the world!!! So have you ever just had a day where you felt like saying whatever random thought came into your head at the time? Well... I'm having one of those kinds of days right now. It's not a bad thing... it's even funny at times. For instance... I'm sitting here... I just got done talking to my wife on Skype, and little does she know... but I took a VERY silly picture of her right before we were done talking. Now I'm going to post it here and on Facebook. LOL She decided she was Abe Lincoln and was giving the Gettysburg Address! It's priceless!!! I do love her so! :)
The Steelers are playing tomorrow at Miami... and the game is going to be televised here in the desert! It's about time, too!!!! The only other Steelers game I got to see has been their only loss of the season. Let's not repeat that feat! GO STEELERS!!!
I had a very nice 2/3 day off today. In fact, I would still be at work right now instead of sitting here in the Cyber Cafe writing my blog. :) My shift absolutely flew by! It was a good day... and a short one. I'm thinking of watching another one of my movies tonight in my room in a little while. I figure why not... while I have the time to relax and do it, right???
So... aren't there some pet peeves you have that just drive you crazy??? Hopefully one of them isn't someone blogging with no sense of structure as randomly as I'm doing tonight. LOL Seriously, though... I have one big one that's just gnawing away at me over here... it's people's rudeness and lack of respect for both others and community items. Allow me to explain a little better with a couple examples. For instance, there is a dart board in our little "shack" area where we hang out all day when we're not sitting on scope. A couple guys will just throw from far far back in the room at it and think it's funny when the darts stick in the wall and make holes in it. There is an X-Box in the room... the same 3 or 4 people hog the TV with it playing football on it... not even 2 people at a time... only 1 at a time! We have 5 computers... if you don't log off of them the system eventually gets really bogged down and runs so slow to the point that no websites will come up even. Do you think half the people EVER log off??? Fuck no! Then there's my biggest one of all here... getting food for people... do I mind bringing my coworkers food? Not at all! I do it every chance I get, and they do the same for me. It's the ones that know full well you're doing them a favor, but they make a special order that takes 10 minutes to get instead of keeping it simple. Can I have a grilled chicken... and then take it to the sandwich line... with pickles and onion and extra mayo? Not to mention... I would like some vegetables from the healthy line... along with a gatorade. Sorry dude... that's fucking annoying. But that's not the worst of it... the worst is the one person who NEVER brings food for anyone... NEVER! Well... "I don't like to go to lunch." Of course not... because you're fucking LAZY! They are the first ones to ask someone to bring food for them and then wonder why nobody wants to! Do unto others definitely applies my friend, and you are no more special than anyone else here. The last of my rant today is the bathrooms... this one is probably at the top of my list, too. The commander shut down our bathroom for a day because someone clogged a toilet and left it that way. This wasn't the first time... it's happened several times, and nobody will own up to it. So... after having it reopened and having everyone talked to what happens? Someone spits sunflower seeds in the urinal in the men's room! MORONS!!! Why do people do shit like that? Why do people piss on the seats in men's rooms everywhere? What the hell is wrong with our society? And... is this just an American thing, or does this happen regularly all over the world? In Europe? In Asia? Outside of the bases elsewhere in the Middle Eastern countries? I want to know. It is so frustrating that people take such liberties with stuff that isn't theirs. What kind of parents teach this behavior to their children? I just don't get it. I know I personally will clean up after my own damn self whenever possible. Ok... enough about that... I'm certain I've made my point. :)
At the end of the day... I am still doing great here... I suppose you're bound to get annoyed when you spend the majority of your time with a group of people you're not used to spending that much time with. For the most part I get along with everyone, though. It's one of my better qualities. I am going to head off to my room now and watch a movie I think... or perhaps go sing a little karaoke in a bit. It starts at 8:30 I do believe. That's something I would really enjoy doing, too! I may have talked myself into it. :) Goodnight all... and I hope you enjoy your weekend! My sort of "weekend" is going well so far. I enjoy the little breaks we get here... may not be a day off... but it's pretty darn close!
Peace, Love, and Poker
