Finally found the time to read through the recent post.

Spoiler: Mann, Hugh Journal Entry 02 (click to show/hide)

As much as I am bothered to have to move away from my good home ol' US, I am excited to hang around Europe for the next... well the time is undetermined, but at least my tasks will be more localized within the radius of some rather nice touristy locations.

Sure, according to what we've been told, it's essentially a smaller hole in the ground than the home base, but it'll be nice to have a bit more privacy. Maybe if I can have some leave, I can make use of it. Then again, maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to take a date back to my quarters. You know, security protocol.

I'll definitely spend a bit more time on the surface and enjoy the new scenery. The least I'd like to request is maybe an easel, some paint supplies, and what the hell, maybe an afro wig for the hell of it. I mean, according to the coordinates, there ought to be many happy little trees to paint. Plus, my old quarters looked rather barren, and I'm getting sick of it. And why not? let's take advantage of some of the more open space now that I'll have some again.

I got promoted, which is great! I will enjoy leading soldiers again and Dad will like the extra cash. Speaking of which, I really need to tell him to stop sending me wine. I've got about a hundred bottles now.
*A different person speaks* Sargent, I-
*There is the sound of a kneecap being smashed, accompanied by a scream of pain*
Archangel's voice returns*
I think I'll stab the next idiot who barges in here without knocking. I'm impressed with the quality of these mics. 'Tis very hard to record that sort of smashing sound.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, the wine. I think I will get the high ranking personnel to take their pick of the lot, select what I want to keep of the remainder and throw a party with what's left over.

I'm gonna offer to cook dinner for Commander Snow, as a thank you for her excellent leadership. I remember how Mum always wanted me to be a surgeon, 'cos I've got steady hands, and Dad always reckoned that I was so good that I should be a professional cook. Instead, of course, I followed Dad into civil engineering and then joined the Army.

I'll try to remember to get someone to fix the camera.

I dont know what Meijer is...

Ehh-wha?

Maybe it's only in Ohio, then. Meijer's a Walmart like store, but without half the jobs in the China and all that. Same brands, lower prices or something.

In Toledo, at least, Meijer has only about half the selection of WalMart. Usually a bit cheaper, though.

Have you done anything with my log yet?

I will include it in the post after next (the between missions post) certainly before I ship people off to places around the world. Thanks for the idea ^.^

<Insert enthralling story post here, meh, I give up, just play an old X-Files rerun...>

[Heron TSG]

Okay, it's been a month since the last update.

Is it dead, Jim?

[chaoticag]

Anya just needs to turn her notes into a post. She's been under a lot of stress and distractions lately, so it might take a while longer, but the work is done partially.

[cganya]

chaoticag is right, between putting out fires, keeping the home clean and looking for a job, I don't have much time to relax.

The time i do get is usually spent playing games that don't require a lot of effort. I have been under a lot of stress and it's hard to get a writing mood going.

Just to give a recent look at my life:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

there have been 4 close family birthdays in the past week, my wife is bed ridden with an acute ear infection, we also found out she is allergic to codeine because of this. My mother is suffering from some bad scratches on her cornia as the result of the radiation treatments she has undergone to treat her chest cancer and she can no longer drive on her own and needs my brother or I to drive her around. My other brother's bitch of a girlfriend barred my father from attending his grandson's birthday, after my mother had a huge fight with him in order to make him agree to go in the first place. My older brother (different brother, I have 3 of the damned things) appears to have broken up with his 3-4 year steady girlfriend (who was my wife's only bride's maid). And to top it all off I still have no job.

My dad is on my ass to get a job but I can never seem to get a lucky break. I'm fighting an uphill battle here because more than half of the posted jobs in my field are for bilingual people, not me.

This is just in the last week and a half, so when i get some free time, I like to just stop thinking.

The saved game is still there, my notes are still there, my current post is partially completed. It's just waiting for my life to fuck off for a minute.

[Heron TSG]

Oh, good luck with your life, then. That's definitely something to put on high priority.

[Itnetlolor]

Well, that sucks.

I hope things improve soon.

[RAM]

Aye, good luck with everything, I might be back with a bump in a month or two...
