My day is going slowly. Mostly spent on procrastination.

I should be looking for a new job, but I feel guilty over not having told my boss yet. I know it makes sense not to tell him until I've found a new job, but still...

*peeks in*

Another day off tomorrow - another driving lesson. Oh joy.

Now I gotta call the OUTG and ask if she's passed her apprenticeship finals.

Magpie · 2010-09-23 11:18:57

Gah. I've got a thorn in the tip of my right forefinger, and I can't get it out. It's very annoying when using the mouse.

Genisis X · 2010-09-23 16:59:10

Huzzah for more lectures!

Today we shall be learning about the conduct of mounted operations, urban combat and the characteristics and effects of urban terrain.

That is all.

PeterJW · 2010-09-23 17:37:12

Here are some interesting examples of urban combat:

1. Stalingrad: August 1942-January 1943.

2. Manila: February 1945-March 1945.

3. Berlin: April 1945-May 1945.

4. Seoul: September 1950.

5. Hue: February 1968.

Maen Mint!

Genisis X · 2010-09-24 01:07:38

Arrrrrrgh!

My new camera is at the army depot in Queanbeyan and missed todays delivery by about an hour. Now I won't get it until tuesday! I never thought I would dislike a long weekend!

Sahi · 2010-09-24 01:54:12

Booh! That sucks! And they don't do deliveries on Saturday or Monday?

Magpie · 2010-09-24 02:05:05

*peeks in*

Busy day ahead - I'd hoped to get some time to relax, but now it's shopping, then driving lesson, and right after, meeting up with a friend. I don't expect to get much time to myself.

Sahi · 2010-09-24 03:14:13

Well try to enjoy it all anyway! ;)

Monday is a public holiday. None of the civilians on the garrison work weekends or public holidays which means no mail for me :(

I would throw JB's of doom at the package delivery system, but that would prolly gum up the works some more!

"Conduct of mounted operations"? The mind wonders.

Sahi · 2010-09-24 08:58:49

Yay, that was my last hour of the first week after my holiday. And also the last week before my holiday! :) Ivo is taking me to the South of our country for a long weekend in a hotel.

It seems that my attempts at getting pictures printed are cursed - first half of the pictures weren't copied to the CD I sent in. And now, I just got the second batch - but as it turned out, I didn't specify what size I wanted, so they printed it in their standard size - which is too big for the albums I have (and probably for most albums). BAH!
*gets out utility knife and ruler*

Magpie · 2010-09-24 11:16:53

Also, I've now made a total mess, and have no idea what order the pictures should go in.

Magpie · 2010-09-24 12:14:55

Whee, picture-sorting and cutting finished. Now I can finally put the last Smarchmoot group picture up on the wall.

Em · 2010-09-24 13:11:07

O-o-o-o-o, pictures!

I'm starting a new pair of socks, toe up, with a provisional cast on. I'm really excited about them, there's no seam anywhere.

Magpie · 2010-09-24 13:20:11

I got a lot of yarn last Saturday - we walked past the needlework shop on the way from one flea market, and went, "oh, this one's pretty - and this one - and this one -!" Went to the counter with about six skeins of sock yarn.
Now my yarn box is overflowing, and I need to wind it all into balls to make more space.

I ordered seven or eight skeins last night. There's a lack of yarn stores in the area. Or at least decent yarn stores in the area.

Magpie · 2010-09-24 14:15:23

Don't remind me. To think how many of them have closed round here just in the few years that I've paid attention... the way it's going, a few more years, and there'll be none left at all.

Time to get back to writing. I must stock up on granola bars - my writing food.
