Happy Thanksgiving
Damn it's the holiday season already! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I didn't really do much. Didn't even go to the movies like I planned it's cool though. I invited my mom down but she decided not to come, so I cooked for myself and slept most of the day. A friend did bring me some sweet potato pie. Thanks Kenn.
I'm contemplated getting up and catching the sales in the morning...probably won't but atleast I'm thinking about it. I have to work tomorrow night.
Speaking of work. I'm going to start taking some time off now that all of my pre-deployment stuff is done. I'm still leaving sometime in January, they won't give me an exact date yet. I might be gone for six months now instead of four. Hoping my relationship can survive that. I was actually going to get deployed to Germany next week but thanks to some undone training that didn't happen. Germany vs Iraq. As odd as it sounds I don't know which I would have preferred. In Germany I would have been staying in my own hotel room, had access to a car and got a chance to travel a little. The job would have involved flying wounded soldiers back to the states but I would've have received any special pay or saved much money probably. In Iraq I'll get about $1000 dollars a month in special pay and saved taxes I'll save money because, well there's not a lot there to spend money on plus the savings on utilities and stuff. The down side...Mortar attacks...Seeing up close and personal the price of freedom( as the president puts it..LOL)..Missing my shows( not a big one but Heroes is the shit)...Oh yeah and it might be six months. Doesn't really matter I'm going to Iraq.
