hanging

there were a couple of things i forgot to mention yesterday.

1) sammy has a new daughter! congratulations!

2) ladder theory is to blame for my problems with vision. i am an asshole.

waking the dog wasted a few precious minutes this morning, and i was so completely bombed that every one counted :S

i passed out as soon as i stumbled into my office, to be woken by nystire for coffee no 1. that was a springboard for the walk to get a sandwich and coffee no 2. after downing that while being taunted by the living, we had a meeting with our commmander in which he shuffled my priorities. again. afterwards, i got permission to take a day's leave (to sleep), and banged out as much work as possible before making my escape around 1200.



i was reminded of the story of my niece's third attempt at getting her driver's license: she couldn't understand why the tester was aggravated, and her defence was "but he's just a bergie!"...

i was waiting for the bus when a friend from base got into a car for a driving lesson. i was told i could get a ride to tel aviv, but instead got dropped off at the only exit where i couldn't. i then had to hitch a ride back to our main gate, wait again for the bus after giving up watching people with empty cars ignore me, and eventually got on the bus to tel aviv.

from the central station i bussed to jaffa, and had to wait half an hour to get my keys. i spilled ice-cream on myself. that sucked.

i then took the wrong bus home, but it did get me to rothschild so i enjoyed a roast beef sandwich and good conversation before taking the correct bus - more or less.

and then i showered and passed out.



but not before called vision, and calling it off. it wasn't pleasant for either of us, but it could have been worse. i really do hope things remain amiable between us, because even though i'm not head-over-heels i do actually like her.
