not quite clearheaded...

i slept that last half an hour, all was quiet, and it was the most peaceful, beautiful (okay, most appreciated) sleep i've had in ages.

and then i was woken up - "don't you wanna go home?"

everything was hazy and wobbly, i felt like shit and i was having trouble breathing.

i walked to the base - with a slightly embarrassing incident of me trying to explain to someone who couldn't give me a ride that it really was okay (knowing that i appeared not-so-okay) - and had a short argument with the dickhead in charge before he let me in. i brushed my teeth, staring at the ghost in the mirror, and shuffled my way to my office. (4.30am)

i crashed for around 7 hours... DAMN. NOBODY could wake me up this morning! sinusitis was at full blast - i can't believe my luck in discovering all my medicine in my bag!

had lunch - semi-alright... okay... not really okay but whatever... got some amusement from the mongoose and his section-mates, and then returned for a "goodbye" meeting with my now ex-commander. it was actually quite funny. and he had some touching things to say, even if it was said in a slightly roundabout kind of way.

played some gta - kicked ass, and then found myself on the receiving end of a "whoopin". by then it was 3pm, and i spent the rest of the afternoon on the volleyball court. and i got to play! as in, only one game babysitting the girl standing next to me (she's afraid of the ball, it's very frustrating that she comes onto the court anyway), and the rest were on decent teams.

spot and i got to the toilet stall to wash our hands, and it was closed, with a foot peeking out. "oy! it appears to be a foot sticking out of the door! i wonder if it's attached to a person? let's kick it!"
i was about to mime kicking it, when the person attached to the foot gave a high-pitched scream, the foot disappeared, and when the girl came out i got slapped - (in hebrew) "you're lucky i understand english!" (my hebrew) "that made it better!"

we've been serving in the same prefab for over a year, and that's the second time she's said anything to me (the first time i offered her the israeli equivalent of a sweetie pie, and she offered to squish it)... spot and i were in hysterics for the next 5 minutes :P

i bussed home, spoke to the boss, and we agreed to meet on thursday instead - by which stage he'll know if he can spot me some cash. i also discovered that we've resumed work on the hospital project (as in, i've received bug reports and didn't notice), so i cleared those up on arrival, and now i'm showering before crashing a bit before going to work again, and once again going straight to the base.
