weekend's back in action! mission accomplished!

and that was the week that was :)

right. i made it in time for inspection this morning, which was a laugh. spent the morning struggling with moving the latest version of our software to the testing server. we did it INCREDIBLY unprofessionally.

we were inspected by the branch head, which basically amounted to lots and lots of talk that i really couldn't be arsed to follow. when he asked everybody if they were feeling challenged, the kid said that it would be a better idea to just not ask us. everyone burst out laughing - it's known and accepted that the army has gone out of its way to ensure that we're as unchallenged as possible. it's fucking SAD.

i discovered that my "annexation" to my present unit is over - next week we're supposed to go to our initial base, be interviewed, and then return. i'm seriously considering not returning. not only is that a completely legitimate thing to do, but the base is closer to home. and although it's not as nice people-wise, it's less badly run than ours. and i don't need to sign anything ^_^

i have until tuesday to decide. and figure out how to convince them to allow me to stay.

we went for lunch, which wasn't bad, then finished the work. i began playing the perfect game of gta - and things were going smoooooooothly. the kid stopped what he was doing to watch... and the game crashed.

let's just say that the entire prefab knows what happened.

spot had an embarrassing incident - he sent a screenshot of his system to our commanders, to show them something on our system. he didn't edit out the taskbar. sam 'n max hit the road.

well done, spot. good boy.

so i wrote a pointless vb program using the scummvm icon, that he can leave in the taskbar in case they send someone to check it out. army silliness is inspiring.

i finally broke the kid's undefeated streak in multiplayer gta today. i'm quite impressed with myself.

that yellow weather (dust storm) we were experiencing? the whole day was aweful, until about 4pm when it began POURING with rain, then hailing, and then turning into a lightning storm. at least the air's clear!

tonight there's a party with the same crew who put on the obscure anime party at the lizard. dressing up: the circus. circa [couldn't help myself - ed.] 1900. i dunno if i'm going to be able to dress up for that.

ZOMG!! i just failed the turing test!
