sphincter teaser



i'm not sure if my alarm went off this morning, but i had to scramble to get ready and rush off to the base. i somehow managed to get there in a reasonable amount of time.

my poem for the day:

collapse
The soft crush of silence
Torn hollow
Seeping, sticky, solidifying
'til gravelly concrete pours and sets
Eyes seeing, but blind
Ears hearing, but deaf

Just gently drawing breath
A chrysalis in a stone cave


lunch was distressing. i sat with our two special soldiers, who i've complained about in the past, and had to listen to the two of them discussing other people's faults. there's nothing i detest more than clueless people who are incredibly judgemental.

i napped a bit after lunch, but most of my day was dominated by working with the half-finished app. it was... grounding.

we had a quick munchie meeting in the afternoon, after which i spent 45 minutes chatting with the cute captain and her replacement - at least some of the guys have realized that i'm more mature than the soldiers in mandatory service.



i came up with a new word for asshole while shouting at one of the guys in my section, and combined with jokes about the "bang bus" made the end of the day a great improvement. that picture's most appropriate for the coming rant, i think i'll use it again.

i had trouble organizing to get my keys before leaving for my ex-commander's, so i went straight to spot's work to watch him fumbling a deadline. i had some time to draw. his co-worker gave us a ride, and forced me to listen to 500 miles at top volume. that sucked.

*rant in the pipeline*

pissed off, i left his place around 10pm, had a fight with the kid over the plans for the next while, and took the forever bus to get home. i am *pissed off* (as i said, i'll rant when i have time), and am now hopping in the shower then rushing off to the cocktail room.

i need a drink.
