Deployment 4

Nearing the end of another month. There are too many days to count down. The days pass quickly and slowly all at the same time. There is periods of a lot to do mixed with little to nothing... There isn't just a constant flow. However , I guess that's what happens when you're on a 7day work schedule.

I catch up with friends who tell me of things going on, but to me the world is suspended in it's own little time bubble... It's not true of course, but it feels that way. I make new friends here, just for them to redeploy or go to different FOBs... I try to find time for myself but it rarely pans out and when it does, it's short lived.

I have a feeling that the new mission will have more of the same of lots going on with periods of little to nothing. Good thing I'm used it, but this whole adventure can end now.

Deployment 3

It's about 1am.... Took a break from working earlier this evening and played a game of poker... that lasted quite awhile. It's good to relax and relax around people, but tomorrow will be an early night and just me time, because I'm about burnt out on people.

Most don't realize, or expect, but I am quite introverted. I enjoy quiet, I enjoy having my own personal time, and am perfectly ok with a book, tv show, or video game with a drink and my dog and bird. Human interactions wear me out, so constant human interaction really takes it toll.

Most introverts are like that, but when you're thrusted into a situation where there really is no escape, your room maybe partially a sanctuary, but it's kind of worse than a dorm room (and i never stayed in those)

Anyway, I need a me only break tomorrow... It's going to happen.. hopefully.
