20 Feb 05

Look at that...it is already the 20th. Time sure flies when you are having fun...or when you can't see anything because your eye boogers are a reddish brown color from the layer of sand and dust that coat your eyeballs. Ah, as you can tell, it was another very very windy day today. I didn't have to go to work until 9am. I think that is a good time for me to be up and at 'em. To clarify...I (me Personally) NEVER saw the arm. I'm not even sure about what post it was found on or when, but it did happen. So no need to fear, I never saw a person's limb. I am excited because today I am going to go buy myself a mattress because I can't handle anymore aching nights on a cot. I will put the mattress on top of my cot so the camel spiders can't climb up and get me. Dad, did you ever find me an article on camel spiders. I am still interested to find out if they are poisonous. I heard they weren't. Anyway, I have a fun story to tell...When we got here, we were told about how
unsafe the men are and how they will just walk right into a tent and jump on a female. (I know. You would feel safe too, right?!?) So anyway, we decided that we were going to make one entrance to our tent and secure our back door (right next to my bed) shut. We wrapped some 550 cord around the door and had this whole contraption rigged up. Yesterday morning when most of us were in our underwear, somebody starts pulling on our back door. I yell out, (and I won't use the exact language that was spoken from my mouth). "What are you doing? Go around. That door is locked." The guy reaches in, takes a knife, and cuts our door open, then says, "That's against fire code to have your door locked like that." and I said, " I don't give a ****, I don't want to get raped!" So that night we rigged up a better door with cots all stacked up and a wind chime hooked to the door so if anyone decided to come in, we would all be able to hear it. Our Lt. let us lock it up. She doesn't wa
nt anything to happen to us either. It was kind of fishy that he said he was a fire marshall because they have to tell you that they are coming and then they explain to you why you can't have stuff the way you do. This guy pulled up in a Humvee, cut the rope and left. Can you say "suspicious"!? So that's my story. It's not too exciting. I don't know what else I am going to do for the rest of the day. I'll write later...As Emily was saying, I would love to know who is checking the blog, I consider it an honor to have people checking up on me, and I want to know who you are, so post something every once in a while, or if you don't want to do that, then e-mail me and let me know that you are watching out for me. Take care everyone, and I'll talk to you later.
