Apologies for my rant. I guess my BS meter got pegged this morning.
Slackers are in my top 5 things that peg the meter off its bs scale.
When I do lose my temper it is short and sweet.. didya know that dinner plates me most excellent frisbees?
Then I am over it..
WE, he and me, are good to go.. as I write this he is in the air for there.
I will get a call when he is downrange.. and an APO address.. He mentioned chocolate and coffee.
I sure hope the QP's he is providing support for know they got the best man in this deal. I got to thinking about it.. someone who does not want to be there and is willing to do whatever it takes to get himself out of going back to wherever they are. That person, is simply not worth having around.
When the chips are down, would he provide the best comm support he could or would he slack off??? Perhaps a TS or two knows that and let him slide.
They know the roster, who was next..
I talked to him about 9pm...he is GTG and says this sounds like 'fun'. OH good lord.. I need more rum.
Isn't it nice to have children who give one a good excuse to imbibe.. as if I needed an excuse... sunsets, moonsets, and so on...
I did mention the fact that since Group did not get the permission slip for this field trip to me in a timely manner, I felt compelled to tell them that I was not going to sign said permission slip and would be delighted to drive down and explain my position in person. "oh god, you would too wouldn't you?"
"Absolutely for all the good it would not do, but at least it might provide some QP's a vast amount of amusement at my expense. Fly safe, have a good time see you in xxxx"
