better day

yesterday morning was tough: i was stressing out and angry and bitter, i wanted to break stuff and i wanted to throw hot liquids over everyone i met (well, a few people in particular, at least). i tried to put that negative energy into coding, but i couldn't concentrate for very long because i kept being interrupted by people who needed help using the (broken) fax machine or photocopier.

...

lunch (replete with actual chocolate salty* balls) had me at loggerheads with idiot-girl, and by the time we were done i was ready to call my SC and tell him to arrange a meeting with the base psychologist. i don't know what direction that could take, but i think it's time for a chat.

* okay - they were ultra-sweet, but that was funnier

i wasted a few hours trying to burn my project so that it can be moved to the network, and all of those efforts resulted in a dvd that cost the army approximately NIS 60 (rough estimate of man-hours) and is totally worthless.

i accompanied one of the engineers for lunch, and began to relax a bit (the aroma coffee and brownie helped). i'm going to develop a sense of humour about my situation if it kills me. our discussion went in a few directions, and i was in much better shape when we returned to base.

i made it to an absolutely phenomenal sunset, was back in time for incredibly serious munchkin, and around midnight went to the mafteach club. it was absolute mayhem... usually i'd have left when the crowd size got so disproportionate, but the girls arrived and between us all we had space to dance and things to chirp about.

we left around 3am, i got into bed at 4am, *didn't* alert my SC at 7am that i'd be travelling with the alternative ride (i sent the message to the wrong phone number), had half an hour of sweet agony from 8.15 (massage pillow and sore neck), did the dishes, uploaded photos, and had coffee on the patio while typing this, enjoying an absolutely stunning morning.

now to jump - gotta get dressed and ready.
