So no one bothered to tell the new guy, me, that we actually did get veteran's day off. I was told to be at work at 6:45. I showed up, in normal fashion, at about 6. I gave up waiting and left. I got back to my room at 7:30. Not really a waste of a day, it was just frustrating. I did manage to waste the rest of the day but, it was on my terms not work. Watched a movie marathon on the Air Force Network. I fell asleep during "we were soldiers" when I woke up I couldn't remember if i was watching "Brave Heart" or "the Patriot". for those who don't get that, they all star Mel Gibson.
Today was my first day of normal work, still no in-processing. However, I did speak to a very nice, very southern, staff sergeant today about when I am getting a dorm room. He ensured me that it would be next week, some time. I am not holding my breathe on that one. Other than that, work was... work. It was as normal of a day as possible in my job. I am also pretty confident that I managed to prove that I earned my promotion today.
I am still not adjusted to the jet lag. I was told today by my supervisor that it took him about three weeks to become adjusted fully. So I have that to look forward to.
My smile for the day came from an e-mail some one sent me yesterday. My grandfather sent me and e-mail wishing me a happy veteran's day. that means a whole lot to me, thank you.
