what day IS today??

well, technically, it's the early morning of the 26th of october. i'm sitting here at work, listening to hiphop while waiting for the abuse of stupid americans. i'm kinda tired, but still kinda wired, for which a suitable explanation ensues.

the 24th (not yesterday. the day before. approximately):

t'was a day for watching loads of telly. and ready good ol' 'arry potter. a cousin and i went through to afula for a bit, missioning unsuccessfully for decent chocolate.

oh, and i ate blue blueberry muffins all day. was a pretty good day, i guess.

in the evening, i called the army to find out what my assignment was, only to discover that nobody was assigned. i explained my situation, again, only this time to a male. i am not sexist, but this is the first person who's had the good grace to apologize for them taking so long, and promised me i'd get a call the following day.

false hope or not, i didn't care. i got excited.

yesterday:

around midnight, i went to take out the trash. suddenly got hit by a spark of inspiration - the paved parking lot is ideal for doing taekwondo forms. so i did. i had a good shower afterwards, and slept really badly afterwards.

after waking up, i began sorting through all my army gear, which was amusing. i packed all my things, had lunch with the cousins, and then we all went to afula, from where i was planning to go to work.

coffee: the really cute waitress dropped (in slow-motion, we all got the effect) my cappuccino, immediately after which i received *THE* phone call. i start my army service on wednesday morning!!

SO typical, it's murphy: it's all because i came back to work.

anyway, i was so excited, that i bounced all the way to my cousin's office, to tell her the news. i'd left the girls behind, they were just behind me, and i said "oh, good, you're sitting down.", as we'd laughed earlier that she'd fall off her chair if the army called me back.

she almost had a heart-attack. she went into shock, and it was only then that i realized that out of context, me arriving without the girls, and making a comment about remaining seated, was completely inappropriate. i guess i was just a little too excited for my own good.

anyways, that got sorted out eventually, and the whole ride home i was bouncing up and down, so excited that i would've screamed if it hadn't been for the company.

i got back to the kibbutz, packed my gear into my kit bag, said goodbye to everyone, and did the bus thing. it's been a while since i lugged the bag around - that thing by f@$%!ing HEAVY.

oh, and got two calls on the way -
1) from the university. my degree is more or less closed, i just have to run through tomorrow (today?) to a couple of offices on campus, and finalize things.
2) my mom, who's almost as excited as i am.

got to work, still excited, to tell the boss "thanks for hiring me back, gotta go"... i can't not find the whole thing funny. now i've got to find people to replace me :P

work's been alright, although a bit on the boring side. but my news r0xx0rs SO much, it's just amazes me. and i've gotten in touch with all sorts of interesting people, friends i ain't been able to get hold of for a while.

t'was a good evening. some of the calls this morning have been a bit shitty, but i now have no reason to care. whatsoever.
