Replaceable
Turns out I'm replaceable. They brought a girl to replace me at the army. To be honest, I don't know why they'd do that. It's not like I do anything.
Funny stuff, I was sitting at another office and our computers tech girl went "I've finished all my tasks!" and I say "so did I!" and the new girl goes "so what do you do now that you've finished all your tasks?" and we all looked at each other and I went "well, nothing. I read the newspaper. I sit here and do nothing. This is what I do" she seemed appalled!
My morning started horrible. I got all the way to the bus stop to find out I forgot my army ID. I can't do jack without it. I can't go on the bus and I certainly can't get into the base without it. Dang it, I had to walk all the way back home, get it, and go back to the bus stop. As I got back, a half-empty bus went by me. In vain I hoped the next one would be empty too, but it was jam-packed. I had to stand in awful suffocation (welcome to my life). When I got to base, my air-conditioner was still broken from 2 days ago when I left early because I couldn't take the heat and took the day off the next day for the very same reason. I found out my office-partner, who is so self-centered it hurts, did nothing to progress the fixing of said AC. I nearly killed her.
If that was not enough, I called the girl taking care of service conditions to ask her to finally take the papers for my special vacation for Sunday-Monday so I can help my parents move, and the bitch wasn't there. The girl that answered the phone thought I was a guy (I get that a lot on the phone, I just have a voice that you can't tell really, I make sure people feel really bad about it if they make the mistake), which pissed me off even more. It didn't help she was completely worthless but all service conditions girls are bitches. So after fighting with her and slamming the phone in her face, the commanding unit called her commanding unit and came to the conclusion we're not going to get anywhere with these bitches.... It's a good thing the commanding unit decided to be human today. She said I can have Sunday-Monday off anyway and that we'll find another way to sort it as far as army bureaucracy is concerned.
Then that new girl arrived and I found myself dragged around the Kyria doing a "trip form" with her, which is where you go around and tell all the service givers that you're there - service condition, clinic, logistics etc. You signed them each on a form and give them your paperwork so they can file you up. Fun times. The heat was horrible. Going all over the Kyria in that heat nearly killed me.
All and all she's a nice kid. Eating disorders is what brought her from a course she was in to our humble unit. She really is rather skinny and tall. Like a freakin' model. Not really beautiful, though, just well groomed.
Around the end of the day the commanding unit decided I needed to get some envelopes to someone who was meant to come to the Kyria's gate. He was stuck in traffics (the entire area was jammed) so he only got there around 5pm. Which meant I had to wait for him. And then he dragged me to a different gate to what I normally go out of and stupidly I thought "well, I won't go back into the base, I'll just go round it". Massive mistake. This took forever and really tired me out, especially in that heat. I got to the bus stop at around 5:30pm, and got home after 6pm because the entire area was jammed shitless. Not to mention I had to stand in a crammed bus again. Fun times.
When I got home, I didn't get to rest. Oh no. I had to help my mum pack shit. Plates, actually. Wrap em' in newspaper and put them in boxes. My hands were BLACK by the time I was done....
Fuck, I'm tired.
