another day...

and i may as well link if i'm going to wax political.

i had a fairly arbitrary day. walked straight past the base's discipline c*nt with earphones in and non-compliant half-gloves (full gloves only - you tell ME that's logical when soldiers normally need to be able to pull a trigger). i wasn't paying attention (good music), but one of the guys walking with me directed my attention and explained to me that this wasn't such a great idea.

i was supposed to find out travel details from my welfare officer, but they were preparing for an internal inspection, so they weren't being helpful today. i sorted things out with my guard duty: the guy in charge has put me down for three shifts, and when i told him that he'd have to replace me due to my exemption he just smiled and said "okay. bring it to me when you renew it." that's silly, but anyway.

i had practically no work today, so i had a long lunch instead. i then bussed to tel aviv, walked around with mmf, then returned to base in time to leave.

ssso picked me up, and we went for coffee while she made a presentation for a pyramid scheme. funnily enough, if i could afford the initial investment i'd go in - just because the product is actually worth owning and using. unfortunately, it's too expensive at this point, and i don't have time or energy to go around recruiting. it was a long presentation, and at least i helped her out with transrations and things. it was amusing to be explaining to her certain things about it, because it's tech that i'm familiar with. as a kindness i won't specify any more details.
