HOT DAMN. that was amazing. i can't get over it! WTF?!?!
one of the guys from work gave me a ride on his vespa to the base. i was wearing a face mask against the cold, and i wasn't in uniform - removing the helmet at the main gate was highly amusing. they let me in anyway, though - chatted for a bit, shaved and brushed teeth, then went to bed - after leaving explicit instructions not to be woken up by anyone - ESPECIALLY not by our TL or SC.
i slept incredibly well, and was woken up for lunch. not a bad lunch. then had coffee with the mongoose while he had lunch, then did some work. work involved designing a display stand to show off our branch, which was actually quite fun :)
i rested a bit more, then was woken up by this crazy dude to put on tefillin again. i scored a good massage out of that - i was quite surprised to learn that he really knows what he's doing. it's a rare find. my back thanks him for it.
spent the rest of the afternoon arbing, which included being "interviewed" by a girl visiting our section. when i say interview, i mean that she didn't stop asking me random questions about my life, just because she was bored. they do that a lot here. and i'm not good at asking questions back, so i don't even know her name.
i messed around a bit, including reading some more of a young lady's illustrated primer, then had supper with the kid, and then left the base.
and realized, about halfway down to the bus, that it's thursday. WHOOOOOOOOO!!! very nice. i read some more web site story (which is simply brilliant now that i've gotten back into rankin's style), and have come home to shower, crash a bit, then go to work. i think i'm going to go straight from work to the kibbutz. it's high time i paid them a visit.
and that's it. WEEK OVER. and it wasn't such a bad week after all. life as a soldier is just SO fickle.
moonflake: i think i'm going to attempt making a cover page for calvin and hobbes, like i did for madam & eve...
but of course ;)
