Ever Have One of Those Days

   Today just started out bad and continued from there.  First, Biz came by to take me to turn in some of my gear at a post about a 45 minute drive away.  (My command won’t allow us to use military vehicles to clear, because, to them, clearing is personal business, not military.  Of course, they’re all allowed to have cars.)  Well, we get just outside of the city, and I realize that, duh, I’ve forgotten my clearing papers.  So we have to go back and get them, wasting an hour in the process.  Great!  I call the place I was going to tell them that I’ll be a half hour late.  And they ask if I can come by tomorrow instead.  Ah, no!  That’s why I’m telling you I’m going to be late, hello!

   Anyway, I get there, and right at 30 minutes late, like I told them.  And I clear this place, easy, no problems.  Only a few things left to do, and one big one.  My hand receipt.  (A list of all of the unit equipment I am responsible for maintaining.)  Well, there are things missing that I didn’t know were missing.  Not vital equipment, but some chairs and bookcases.  I didn’t know about this stuff, but that’s not an excuse.  That’s ok.  What kills me about it is that I gave my commander an excuse to really give me the shaft.  Every other piece of equipment that I had in my possession is accounted for and present.  And I have a lot to keep track of, including stuff that other people use that I can’t know where its at at all times.  But, I think I did pretty good for accountability.  I just hope that he hurries up with everything so I can still final out on Wednesday, and leave on Friday.

   Tomorrow, I have a few more things to clear, and then me and Biz are going to search the entire compound to see if we can find this stuff.  If we can’t, I’ll have to pay for it.  Like I said, I just want it done quickly.  I’m ready to go.

   Tonight I’m heading over to Biz’s for some dinner.  Which is good, as I really don’t have much left in my room to eat.  But I only need to go a few more days.  (Fingers crossed.)    At any rate, I’m done for today.

    I’ll see ya’ll later.
