Stuff...happens.

The advantages here are few and far between here but there are some. One is "free mail." No stamp required for mail back to the US. So, channeling my inner Maurice Caplin, I have been doing Christmas cards. There is also the British Post, where stamps are 75 cents and the mail gets to England quicker. It is a good thing that I had something to do. Our IT department was "improving band width" and shut down the internet for 4 hours accidently. So no internet, no phone and no printer. No problem, I just did my low tech Christmas cards. I also bought a tiny battery operated Christmas tree for the clinic and, for equal time, a menorah. Ok, not a real menorah, a gift bag with a menorah on it. Which I taped to the wall. Probably a bad idea to light it...
We had a rocket attack last night at 0200. We received the "all clear" at 0202. Didn't even make it to the bathroom. This is my kind of attack. I wonder if someone leaned against the button? A "butt dial" rocket attack...
We had a new doctor arrive here yesterday. Dr Sharp is off on a mission and everyone is freaking out because we have a new Doc. Calm down people, we don't even have an office for him yet and I'm sure he is in the "what the hell have I gotten myself into?" mode still. I just shook hands with him and then he was whisked away by Admin. Wonder if he saw my tree...
I went over to the British compound to listen to two nurses from the Role 3 who were going to sing. They decided to set up outside instead of inside in the theater. The warm theater. It was mighty cold outside and they were giving it their all. My little sweat shirt was not quite enough, so I bailed pretty early. Gets cold here in the high desert at night. I can here the heater in my room kick on. I have set it to 22. Not sure how much that is in Fahrenheit. It's either 76, 106 or 36. Never was that good at math...
