Another Day, Another Tax-Free Dollar

Today was just another day at work for me (see schedule below). I am still fighting for the right to change shifts with the rest of my company. I will be working 1am-1pm instead of 1pm-1am. I sent a very detailed email to my Platoon Sergeant, telling him all the reasons he should switch me. I haven't seen him since then. I bet it pissed him off, and he'll probably say no just because I wrote him that email!

Both of my sisters are sending me care packages! I am excited. The mail room is on the way to my office, so I check the list for my name everyday on my way to work. It's always exciting when I see my name, like getting a letter at summer camp or something.

I had a day off yesterday. I read the remaining chapters of "The Shining" and had dinner with Mark at the DFAC (it was his day off, too!). Then we went to the makeshift movie theater they have here, where "JFK" was playing. That was my day off. Fun stuff.

P.S. I took the above picture a couple of weeks ago. It is one of our UAVs taking off.
