in a surprise move today, my chief told me i was doing an excellent job and that i earned performance based special liberty. i wonder if it was because i was limping.

in other news, PJ is back tomorrow. i haven't seen my buddy in half a year, and i'm looking forward to finally having somebody to play disc golf and guitar with. in preparation for his return, i've tried to re-familiarize myself with drinking and smoking. don't know if i can keep up with the smoking bit.
