Day 43

So today I found myself with a cat in my lap!  I was walking around and saw a cat nearby, and she was very vocal.  So I sat down on a concrete ledge, and she came over to rub against me.  After petting her for a while, she hopped up in my lap!  So she stood on my lap and I petted her for a while.  She had a flea collar on and her ear was tipped, so I felt pretty confident she'd been vaccinated and spayed.  In any case, it was easily the highlight of my day.

Other than that, I sent some pointed emails to people asking for information, and received none.  Pretty standard so far.  I have only a vague email about an upcoming visit, which is technically my first.  I'm not sure I want it, but maybe it will already be planned?  Hard to say at this point.

This evening we had to walk over to Eggers for some JVB training, followed by PME.  I'm slowly learning how terrible this PME thing is.  I believe it stands for Professional Military Education, but it's mostly a joke.  Many different bases and camps in Afghanistan connect for a big teleconference, where some poor fool has to give a PowerPoint presentation.  Hard to say what the topic even was tonight because we all just sort of chatted away.  We put our microphone on mute, and point the camera up towards the ceiling and then we just visit and chat.  Seems kind of pointless to have to walk over to Eggers for that.  While we work at ISAF HQ, we have a Protective Security Detachment that is part of JVB, but they're at Eggers.  This is why we go over there.  Well, another day down.  Hopefully tomorrow is a good day.
