What’s worse, being sick, or being away from home and sick?
To tell you the truth, I’m not sure that even I could answer that one. Some because I don’t like being sick period and some because I don’t know what it’s like to be at home and not sick.
Since I can’t write about being home [...]
…at least that is what I was told yesterday…twice! I even heard those words uttered today at the 0700 meeting. Who’d have thunk?
The cause? Well, let me start at the beginning.
Wednesday evening we had a proposal due. We had an obscenely late phone call with the folks Stateside and after the meeting (about 2300 our [...]
I’m hungry, unshowered, and to lazy to actually write this thing in Word first thereby using the blessed spellchecker that the MS-guru’s have painstakingly designed soley for my usage.
Last night I got into a groove. After work I popped in a Stargate DVD and watched the first disc of Season 2. Whilst I did enjoy [...]
Goodness gracious is it cold this morning. It doesn’t help, I’m sure, that in a bout of laziness I went to the 0700 meeting in shorts.
I got a real kick out of Pooh’s comment on my Normalcy post…you should take to read it.

I received an email today from someone I have to deal with stateside. He asked three questions. One was legit and two, in my opinion, were not. I had to offer an explanation for [...]
So I decided to look at my profile to learn a little bit more about me today. I noticed that I am coming up on 650 days in Iraq. Goodness gracious. Six hundred Fifty sounds so long, doesn’t it? It’s really not when you do the math. It’s only four months shy of two years. [...]
Iraq has hit an all time low. At least an all time low since OMD has graced Iraq with his presence. It was 49 degrees today. I so wish I could report that it was Celsius but it wasn’t, it was Fahrenheit.
Normally it wouldn’t bother me so much but the living conditions are such that [...]
There are signs, camp wide, that refer to something called Groundhog Day. I know what it is in the literal sense, but I have no idea what it is actually referring to.
Groundhog Day is a movie directed by Harold Ramis starring Bill Murray. It’s a great movie in which Murray plays a weatherman that has [...]
Ok, so it’s 03 Nov already, but I am going write this as if it’s 01 Nov.
*Flashback to 01 Nov.*
