detained, but still a bit edgy

today just flew by. it began with my commander spilling coffee all over the place - and himself.

me, bringing him some toilet paper: "serves you right!"
my TL: "you're staying behind an extra hour today."
me: "no really, you're always taking a couple of sips and leaving your mug for two days. you don't respect your coffee enough!"
my TL: "that's another hour."
me: "fine by me, i have tons of work to do."
my TL: "the whole damn weekend, then."
me: "okay, but you're organizing a place for me to sleep here on base."
my TL:"okay, never mind the weekend."

there were quite a few laughing witnesses, but by the afternoon i'd forgotten why i had to stay. i tactfully brought it up when my SC was around, and he was horrified to learn that he had an officer being detained - i think he figured out from the general reaction that it wasn't serious, though.

at least, i hope so. aside from a pretty decent lunch, i spent the entire day working, so caught up in it that i got laughed at yet again for my reaction: "when the hell did it get to 16.30?!"

i started feeling jumpy for my last half an hour, and i left the base irritated by the world in general and unable even to enjoy music - whatever the genre. i met up with sammy at the cafeneto, though, and sitting with his kid for ten minutes calmed me down immensely.

i definitely have to get myself one of those, the only problem is the "first step" which involves finding a girlfriend :P

i'm so glad i can wake up late tomorrow.
