Another day going by here in "beautiful" Iraq. Just going through the motions at this time as I am completely frustrated about being here. OK, enough whining.
So today is Superbowl Sunday and I'm pulling for the Giants. For obvious reasons. We were supposed to have a cookout here at work but judging by how no one has shown up, nor has anything been done to start the preparation, I'm thinking it's not going to happen. And to think, I was thinking about how I might not get sick tonight after eating in the dining facility here. I did get sick for lunch and that wasn't pleasant. Seems that's been happening a lot since I've been at this new place. I know I'm a picky eater but the food is horrible, the selections worse and it's almost immpossible for me to eat healthy. I swear, they must think everyone loves french fries, grilled cheese, cheese sticks, fried food and everything else possible that's unhealthy. I know all about moderation but there is none here. It's all in or all out. I could really go for some Chipotle right now or really, anything else but this shit.
Also finished moving into my new room. Not happy about that at all. Really sucks. It has a weird smell.
So...life here is just "grand." How much longer? Soon I hope. FTP!!!
