8 Hours Down, 16 Hours To Go

A slow day of duty

Published on December 5, 2004 By chiprj In Blogging

A slow day at the Staff Duty Desk today. Nothing going on but the football games. At least I have that to help me stay awake. I slept poorly last night, so I've been fighting the Z monster already. The good thing though is that a slow day usually means a quiet day and I'd rather the day passed slowly and quietly than eventfully. Nothing good comes from an eventful duty rotation.

I've been watching the doors all day. Apparently, the new CSM likes to come in on the weekend and work. For the first couple of weeks, he hasn't been recognized when he entered the building and people have failed to call "At Ease" for him. There are few things (uniform violations and walking on the grass being on the short list) that can piss off a CSM more than failing to do this. I nearly called "At Ease" when an unfamiliar person walked in earlier today!

Obviously, we have the computer here (otherwise how would I make this post), so I also have this to help me pass time. I'll probably catch up on my blog reading and commenting later this evening when I'm having more trouble staying awake. greywar (a good friend of mine) wrote earlier this week that he has duty today also with his unit (we're not on the same base) and he doesn't have the luxury of net access. I feel for him even though he hates me for my access.

So, joeusers, wish me luck that I get to pass a quiet, uneventful night and that I recognize the CSM when he gets here tomorrow. I may check in later and post again (partly because greywar can't!).
