Half Way There
Greetings,
I hit the 90 day mark on Saturday. I also like to think of it as hitting hump day in the longest work week ever. I had a great time at the Indianapolis 500 Party last week. I want to give a shout out to Sean Harshey for putting on a great event. What a finish!!! Our group was on t.v. for about fifteen seconds. I also want to give a shout out to another monkey who will be kicking it here with me until September. He was origninally going to be leaving in July but decided to stay and continue in the fun. Word up Capt S. As I look back on these 90 days I am amazed at how quickly time has gone. Also at the same time I have never quite worked anywhere like the WTF 134. Knowing that this entry is kind of a milestone, I struggled to come up with material for this week's blog. Rather than fit it all into one blog, this blog is the first of a two part series documenting my top 10 WTF moments as well as the fond moments here in Iraq. I start first with my WTF Top 10 list. I would like to thank my co-workers for their assistance in compiling the list.
WTF Top 10 list
10. Wearing a fleece in one's tent when it is like 115 outside. What are you a wuss?
9. The Camp Victory finance office closing at 1200 on Sunday. I guess you have office hours during a war.
8. Having the entire Army marching band walking down the street past the office blasting Louie, Louie, with an overfed FOBIT on tuba.
7. Observing A DOD Civilian FOBIT stopping by Pizza Hut for an appetizer before heading to the DFAC (Dining Facility) for dinner and the three flavors of ice cream for dessert.
6. An Army Lt. Col's request that the Air Force fly in fresh fruit and vegetables.
5. Having your boss tell you at 0220 when you have been at work since 0800 the day before, "Accuracy is key guys so be careful."
4. Watching a Marine (sorry Bill M I know you and other normal Marines would not do this) in those god awful short shorts use the little Haji towel boy who works at the gym to spot and count his reps for him, as he grunts out the last few. What is this Baley's Health Spa?
3. Having an co-worker fall out of the shower stall at 0545 and almost into another and have the universial reaction of those shaving nearby shrug their shoulders as the co-worker yelled !@!@#.
2. Three attorney officers sharing one desk, and one computer only to be supplanted by three attorneys with two desks, sharing two computers and using a two drawer filing cabinet as a desk on wheels, and then being told for about three weeks that the desks and computers would arrive within a couple of days.
1. Observing someone using their canteen holder on as a holster for their weapon.
Stay tuned for part two next week. Thanks for reading.
