Soon on so many levels

I have at least one more shift to do and then maybe one more before I step foot on a plan and head home. Its hinging on whether or not JP walks off the plane straight when TW goes to pick him up later today. I hope he walks straight. TW is switching back to nights, so we have to work it in such a way so that he can adjust and not be dragging too badly. Hence, I’m working Monday night’s shift. But, with the fact that JP does not fly well…

The contractors either took sunday off or worked half shift because of the Super Bowl. The SWC team went on strike and took it off too. That was our joke for the afternoon at least. I drank too many beers… the migraine I have this morning is a little on the painful side. Oh and “GO Giants”! I decided to root for the underdog this time around. It was actually a good game. I’m usually not one for football (I’m a hockey fan), but this game actually held my interest all the way to the end.

Joe called me this morning and discovered the wonderful lag in the service on my end. It was almost like a long dragged out conversation. I could hear his responses as soon as he spoke. He had to wait 20 seconds to hear mine. We’re talking about trying to do something fun when he gets back and takes his 1 month of leave. I told him I was going to see about taking at least 2 weeks off from work. We just don’t know yet what we’ll do. All I know is that it has to involve water. Mostly because he’s tired of the desert. Not that I don’t blame him. At least when he comes to Elko, it won’t be for military reasons. Granted, I’m not too sure how much longer we would be living there after we everything is said and finished. I’m not that crazy about the desert and I know if I stay in the office there for too much longer, I’ll be forced into a career path I have no desire to be pursuing.

Just like I’m impatient to get back home… he can’t get back soon enough too.
