Or life without caffeine.
Told you so. And well, if you're wondering why I'm posting this under humor, I think my life's a joke. Just a quick update, but I swear by the zombie deer that roam my neighborhood, I will write again soon.
In the meantime, I've been smelting away like a sweaty toothed madman (and who knows that quote i dare ya? (no googling, that's cheating)), aluminium everywhere, it's wild! Even began casting. I'd post more pictures that don't work, but I'm really really lazy.
Additionaly, the pressure is on from the powers that be with reenlistment. Apparantly, my unit has about a 5% reenlistment rate in the rear, and is starting to suspect they might have some kind of a problem. Hmmmmm. So we've had to explain why we don't want to be in the army, and what we want to do when we get out at least six times now, plus have it carefully explained to us that it's okay to want to get out, right before they try to explain why we're idiots.
I particularly love the look on my first sergeant's face when I tell her I don't know. She does everything but start twitching. Strictly speaking it's not true, but I've got a degree, 3 languages, a clearance, and blue collar skills up the wazoo, so I'm not real worried. Especially when you consider the fact that I made just about the same amount of money for a few months last year delivering pizzas as a second job. While you're there, they might consider the fact that they've got soldiers (and yes there's several in my unit) that would rather get a second job to make money than turn in all their points to make sergeant after six years............
How's that for a short post? In conclusion, (there see that transitional phrase? I made an old English teacher somewhere proud) I've also been running, and dropped caffeine in an effort to lose weight (It's not really about how I look, but I figure I run faster with twenty pounds less gut and butt.) sweet sweet caffeine......it's calling to me. And only two hours from the Dublin Dr. Pepper bottling company......sigh. so sleeeeepy.
Top ten list of things to tell the first sergeant I'm going to do when I get out. No wait, I'll make a seperate post.............
