err... there's something in that headline that screams "metaphor", but i can't quite put my finger on it.
work last night (or, this morning) was again a dud. i think i may have slept for about an hour. watched some robot chicken, which is simply brilliant. also some southpark and family guy. all in all, a pleasant paid waste of a morning.
i got to the base around 4am, and got to sleep around 5am. hell, i even managed to shave.
i woke up about an hour later with a start, and scrambled to write down the nightmare i had:
there's a man who haunts me in my dreams. one of his eyes is torn, the other barely functioning, but he is eerily fast and his other senses are honed so remarkably that it's as if he's lost nothing. he moves with more than a feline grace, like fire smoothly burning along a path of oil. scary, and i don't know what he wants with me.
he caught up with us fleeing from him from my own grimy, godforsaken underground communal home, everything and everyone covered in dirt and fecal matter, stealing everything and praying to chance clean water.
i tried to take him on, and for a short while we fought - him being absolutely superb in hand-to-hand combat. and then he caught hold of me, and terror engulfed me, and i was frightened to the very depths of my soul.
i yelped...
... and was still yelping when my eyes shot open and i registered i was in my office.
i was woken at 9am by the mongoose, who did some inexplicable and most unpleasant things to get me off my bunk. once we'd sorted him out with an appointment at the clinic, we were informed that we were both up for court-martial. we went to check that out, and it turned out that our unit was only today informed of the court-martial i received however many months ago. and the mongoose's was bullshit. fuckers.
i spent the day working on a problem i was having inserting a specific type of data into our databases... everything that occured went against everything written in the documentation. drove me up the wall. eventually, i left out of sheer frustration - and then got a call from the scout saying he'd run my code on his machine, and it worked perfectly.
WTF?!?!
i definitely need this holiday.
i tried napping after lunch, our team-leader caught me and got upset. fortunately that's as far as that went :P
i missed by bus home, so i went to azrieli instead. i discovered that dog-tags cost in the region of NIS 100 (R150), so i'd rather get them for free from our connections on the induction base...
i walked home, and am now running a load of washing, showering, and going to sleep. i'm wasted. at midnight i have to return to work, and we're there until around 3.30am. so no partying for me tonight.
i is teh happy!! ^_^
