just what day IS today?

ok, i'm a bit lost. i just got 4 bug reports - this being my day off - and i can't read the aweful english in ANY of them. i'm having a cigarette because i think my general aggression caused by trying AGAIN to quit is probably interfering.

yesterday:

i had an early meeting with the section commander, who tried to motivate me and tell me why things are going to be great in our section in the near future.

i don't believe him.

i basically spent most of the day just being in charge, assigning work, enforcing, and fixing small bugs. not an especially big day.

in the evening, the dog and i met my boss in herzeliya, had coffee and chatted, i picked up my cheque, and we then met up with a friend of mine for pool at the lincoln.

good pool, the one waitress there just keeps blowing my mind. caught the bus home around 11.30pm, showered, and crashed.

today:

one of our cleaning fish that we bought yesterday was dead this morning, so we had a funeral and then a panicked clean of the tank. hectic. i was meant to take my half day off from noon, but we hadn't finished. and then we had some problems to take care of, so i only left around 2.30pm. went past the hardware store, got myself some drain cleaner, and have just got home to use it and do some work.

wednesday i receive my new rank: corporal. NOT looking forward to it, it means i no longer have a joke rank - it's been such fun!

i can't get hold of my boss to translate the damn bug reports for me, so i'm going to crash for an hour before fucking off to watch my cousin play waterpolo.

-- yesterday i finally set the wheels in motion, but there's still the possibility of a black flag on the horizon. very exciting and scary to have taken a real step though... i get edgy and breathless each time i think about it --
