I suppose it’s been quite a few days since I’ve last blogged… sorry. Thing were crazy busy from Sunday till today while Kristina was here from the states evaluating my site. I even worked on my day off, sunday. So far this week i've got 7 hours of overtime. I’m so glad she came, we had a fun but most important we go so much knocked out that were pending issues. I learned so 4 days that it felt like information overload for a bit. She even motivated me to walk to breakfast in the mornings, I timed it… 10 min walk. I’ve got a lot to take care of to get things prepped for the BIG upgrade hopefully in October. Units are coming and going in the next month and I have to figure out the status of their machines. More than likely I’ll have to rebuild their machines when they show up. I’m gonna have to make and keep up with a schedule, this should be interesting.
I’d have to say the best day this week was Monday. It was kinda like Christmas, I got both boxes my mom had sent out for me. The big box ended up ripping by the time it got to my mail section here and things were about to fall out, everything was pretty much in contact though. I got my battery charger for my camera, my favorite conditioner, more towels, etc… in the first box. The second box was full of food that I ordered and my mom picked up from the Gluten Free store in Tumwater, GF Joes. YUM!!! There was also very pretty stationary from my aunt and tons of different color pens… woot! The only crummy part on Monday that there was some mail one of the packages that was from Madigan Army Hospital marked official mail. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm I thought.. I opened it up and my jaw dropped. A bill for almost $300 from when I went to on Ft.Lewis and got all my lovely shots done. I was under the impression that at least the freaking anthrax shot would have been covered since you can’t really get that at a civilian hospital. Oh well… I sent a check and submitted a claim to my insurance and hopefully they’ll cover some of it. Also got DDR 3 for the wii :) Haven’t had the time to play yet though :(
Tuesday I was so tired I don’t remember anything exciting happening except I reimaged a machine for about 4 hours… I was pissed. This unit got one machine and it happened to be one that’s the slowest and should have been turned in by now. Unfortunately they got the short end of the stick and were thankful they got a machine at all. It was quite a learning experience on how to properly back up data, then input it back in.
Yesterday we ran around like idiots trying to catch certain people and had just missed them or they just weren’t there. Besides that we were going around fixing problems that people had mentioned while Kristina was here. After a long day of doing all that and playing email tag Kristina and I went to get a manicure. They are just as good back home, and from the Philippines. The waitresses in Sarah’s restaurant are also from the Philippines.
Today Kristina left and I played catch up with odds and ends in the office. I was bummed she left. Not only did I walk to breakfast this morning, but I walked to lunch. My coworker wasn’t in the office and he had the key to the vehicle. I walked to lunch with a couple soldiers I work with, they’re really nice. If your thinking in the flirty way you’re wrong… one is from the S6 shop, his office is next to mine, and his friend… she works across the way where the combat stress doggie works. I spoke with my boss back home in the states the other day and he asked how things were going and if I had gotten hit on? I started laughing and said no because no one really had been. He said he was really surprised and that wasn’t right and for me to go hit on them! Of course he was joking and caught me off guard a bit and I couldn’t stop laughin! I think that was Monday or something I called him, then yesterday a worker at the PX asked me which LSA I lived in. I was stunned… because he’s really nice to everyone who comes in and I didn’t think anything of it. I told him I didn’t know the number of my LSA and then he asked what I did? I sorta fibbed and said that I work in the hospital (I actually work next to the hospital). I now think either my boss or I jinxed myself :P I will just have to scan the PX before I go in.
Sorry I haven’t taken any new pictures yet, I plan to soon. Take care.
