There's just something that puts you in perspective when you're sitting here, responding to a message and you have to halt MID SENTENCE because of incoming rockets. It'd be funnier if I didn't see the results of them.
Ask anyone that knows me and they would all say "Oh yeah he's a pretty relaxed guy, few things get him worked up." but those same people know the few things that do, drive me batshit insane.
Normally this is what I'd call "profile suicide" but I figure "why not?" if I can't vent here, where could I? So here goes... my first and hopefully...

Thanks. He said if needed , we'll discuss more time when this week is over but I really can't afford to take more time off.

I love my job and I enjoy it here, just terribly bored in the off...

Yeah, KAF always has and always be a shithole! Do they still have the Roller Hockey rink and Tim Hortons?

They do have the rink, but no Tim Hortons, the Canadians left a while back. I admit the boardwalk is pretty extravagant. I'm just happy to be over here doing something after having our deployment cancelled 3x prior.
