Oprah cant read
You realize that if I get no comments then I quickly jump to the conclusion that I am alone and I procrastinate indefinitely. They handed me a big shit sandwich at work and I have got my hands full, it's been a long week and I'm pretty sure today is Tuesday. I'm back running PT again, and I'm running four shops. I have to get these people to feel motivated to work even though there's clearly nothing important left to do other than shut it down, and I have to write evals for people who I haven't seen since before Japan. Meanwhile my medical record is lost (the geniuses decided to ship it overseas last november?) so all I've got is the smaller battle record which I took with me to Japan, it is not sufficient to reenlist or to do my sea duty screening for Florida and I'm supposed to get out next week if I don't reenlist. I requested an extention on my end of service yesterday, hopefully this saves me. My transfer package is also due next week and part of that package is the sea duty screening which I can't do and I'm worried that I'll lose my orders if I'm late. The movers are booked for March, and I ordered new vehicle tag registration stickers through the mail. Hopefully that works out, otherwise my tags and my security stickers are going to expire too, then I won't be able to drive on base. And My ID card is going to expire this month and I can't renew until I reenlist. Help me, I need a fully body oil massage and a plate of macaroni and cheese ASAP.
I downloaded one book for the kindle just to see how it works. Jim Cramer's Mad Money. I watch his show sometimes and I was curious about that book. You can also get samples of books free, it has wifi so just go through the kindle, not your computer. Search the title or author and you get reviews of the book and an option to buy or look at a sample. I like that. Reading is different, I read slower on the kindle for some reason and I end up flipping back a page a lot because I haven't worked out the flow of turning the page and still comprehending what that last sentence was. I only got a few chapters deep into it so I don't know if it would hurt my eyes after a while or not, maybe.
I have real books to read first. The FJ Chase book that I read was called "Darkness under Heaven." Is that the one you got? I liked it, but then I started reading another Reacher book which I had missed, "Running Blind," so much better. Great. For Christmas I got that and the new one, "Gone Tomorrow," also a book called "New York" by Edward Rutherfurd and "Reservation Blues" by Sherman Alexie and from Oprah's Book Club "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" OH YEAH I am saving that one for last on principle. The principle of I AM A MAN.
