Many Hands Make Light Work

So I got a call today from Mr. Recruiter. He tells me I need to sign a form saying I know my ship date has changed, and that the office and the rest of the DEP (Delayed Enlistment Programs) guys are going to volunteer with tornado cleanup in Stratford. So I run about, grab some boots, my old army coat, and the warmest clothes I can get, and off to the recruiting station. I sign the form, and off to Stratford.

We get there, and the place has been entirely cleaned up! There's a couple houses with big chunks out of them, but the parts of town we drove around had been pretty well patched up, with plywood over broken windows and the like. Seeing empty house foundations was a bit sobering. So with nothing to do in Stratford, we called another town that'd been hit hard, Woodward. Woodward had called off working on account of the snow, so we didn't have anywhere to volunteer.

So the recruiter bought us lunch at the Hunan Palace, and here I am at home, posting this.

Physical Training: Lazy
World of Warcraft: Level 34

This is the Captain, We're Going to be Delayed

Ship-off day has been delayed because my Social Security card hasn't come in the mail yet. The new date is December 13th. I suppose this means I'll be around for Thanksgiving. I'm simultaneously disappointed and relieved. Disappointed because I wanted to be gone, and relieved because this gives me more time to go straighten out the mess I've left at the university.

In other news, my Night Elf Druid on Tichondrius has reached level 32. I'm making productive use of this extra time. Expect me to start keeping a physical training log in this space.

First Post!

So here's my very own weblog. I'm joining the Navy. Just as soon as I get all my paperwork figured out.

Holy shit.

Later, suckers.
