another week

another week bites the dust, and the natives are getting restless. for the locals, that means it's getting warmer and they can attack us more. for the unit, it means people are really starting to feel the deployment. spending so much time around the same people has a tendency to grind on you, and faults are amplified. people taking leave should alleviate some of that, but just how much remains to be seen.

speaking of leave, my 'second' is going on leave this week. i'm sure that'll mean more work for me, and no one to pass stuff on to. i guess i've always been sort of alone being the only IT person in the unit, but at least before i had someone i could give simple tasks to. we'll see how things go.

well...this is going to be a short one as i'm not in a chatty mood today for some reason. i'll write again in a few....

tell the swine we will make it out alive
there's a note in the pages of the book
so sleep tonight; sleep dreamlessly this time
when we awake we'll know that everything's alright
then sing to me about the end of the world
end of these hammers and needles for you
hold on to the world we all remember fighting for
there's some strength left in us yet
hold on to the world we all remember dying for
there's some hope left in it yet
