The new paid internet and I are not getting along. I think that I've paid for it twice now, just to get on this site to blog. DI has blocked sites like these from the company internet to save band width. Ummmm, not sure how that does that, but what do I know?
We are out of water. Ok, we have water we just can't make it go to the showers and bathrooms in F block. Sounds like being in Alcatraz. This is like prison, just better food and occasional internet. So I put on my Crocs and flip flopped my way down two buildings to H block for showers and other things that require water. I just brush my teeth with bottled water and spit it onto the rocks from my "balcony.". Kinda fun actually. Not so much for the guy below me. Sorry about that, Chief. Hopefully will be fixed soon. Just part of the fun of being in Afghanistan.
I am no longer grumpy. We organized and boxed the 2500 files and put them in storage. Then I bought pizza for the crew. All is forgiven. And the boxes of files are out of my clinic.
One of the Docs is gone from the clinic; off to cover somewhere else for R and R coverage and then it will be his permanent home. So I have the office to myself. 76 days 'till mine, but whose counting.
In every job there's politics, in this one they are on steroids. So may bosses to please. So many rules to follow. I just take it one day at a time. Bill is at Leatherneck, his new permanent home. He has been labeled a "shit magnet" because they have been getting really sick patients in his clinic that need to be medevaced and they are all complicated. One even got me involved and we got the person out but it turned into a "charlie foxtrot" anyway. Because of, you guessed it, politics. I can't even describe the politics involved. You'd have to be here to understand. Maybe if I ever write a book.
My Amazon stuff is starting to arrive. Wore my new socks today. We'll see. There is a line of tinea on the bottom of my left foot that's making me crazy. Lamisil was winning for awhile but now has sounded retreat. No I need to re-treat with something else. Geez, even footcare here involves politics...
