people and setting up meetings on my own. It may not sound like much,
but it feels like a big deal. My very first visit is shaping up to be
pretty out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, I can't share who or when,
until afterwards. So stand by!
I spent the entire morning in a training session so I could learn
about one of my computer accounts (actually, just to do the training
so they don't shut it off in 30 days). That was extremely boring, and
since I didn't sleep well last night (next paragraph I guess), it was
pretty hard to keep my eyes open. But I got through it.
So last night I spent my first night in the new room with 2 roommates.
One is a stuttering Army Major who habitually coughed all night. The
other is a contractor linguist who smells strongly of smoke and snored
through the night. Fantastic. Oh yes, and the mattresses are hard as
a rock. I think a sleeping bag and a curtain will do wonders. After
the successful arrival of the first care package, I'll be ordering a
sleeping bag and some strong magnets (to hang a sheet from the metal
ceiling around my bed). I might also get magnets with hooks, so I can
hang things, like headphones. Still no wall locker in the room, as of
this morning. So we'll see what happens.
This evening we walked to Eggers again, and had a farewell for one of
the Marine Captains who is a Mission Commander for our security
detachments. I think he was happy to be going, but everyone gets sad
to depart their friends. Hard to say how I'll feel at the end, but
right now I'd be ok dashing out the door! Well, I'm still at work at
10pm here, so I think I'll head out soon. Good night.
