My Internet Screwed Up

The last few days have really been tough ones. Like i said before it's like the movie "Groundhogs Day" the same things over and over. Well, you become kind of institutionalized expect certain things to kind of just be here. I come back the other day from being out all day and it's kind of stressful being on the road over here (Trust me on that one) and all i want is a damn diet pepsi, I'm sick of water and tired of gatorade and just want a damn diet pepsi, now we have been out of diet pepsi for about 3 weeks now and was assured that there was going to be a shipment coming in that day. Now I know this seems a little trivial to most of you but we don't have much and what we do have we come to depend on. I get back to camp and am anxiously awaiting my GD diet pepsi and low and behold nothing but regular soda, so i settle for water and none too happy about it either and the next couple of days that follow just bring disappointment after disappointment. The shower unit by my hooch breaks down completely and is secured, so now there are 3 shower stalls for about 60 people on my side of camp, we haven't seen mail in forever they just keep cancelling flights, and to top it all off our private contract internet shits the bed. Now I have to wait in line to use the MWR computers and then you are only granted about 20 minutes to get done what you have to do. My work email is working 90% of the time but they have most websites access denied and certainly all the pop mail servers you can't access. Whew good vent, and to top it all off every time I get a line out to Sheila's cell i get her voicemail. Boy i sound pathetic. Still there is always a bright and shiny cloud to everything, today in the DFAC a box of avocados just showed up out of nowhere and about half of them were ripe, see little things. Don't despair things are always looking up, the weather has turned cold enough o have to wear a jacket during the day now soon we will have snow on the mountains and it will be incredibly cold. At least it keep some of the smell down(Hopefully) Sorry this is so beeeyatchy but had to get it out. My time is up Later!!!

Oh Kev that really sucks. I'd send ya soda if I could. Funny how we take those things for granted because we have everything here in such abundance. I hope you get my box soon. Please let me know if there is anything else I can send, it gets hard trying to be new and creative with the care packages. I hope you get the internet straight soon, I can never seem to get you on Skype either. I saw that I missed a couple of calls from you today, I was in the commissary and left my phone in the car. I will not do that again. I stopped into Conklins before I came home today. Chrissy said to say hello and hopes you are well. Cam is coming home in less than a month, so she's pretty excited. Anyway, I hope I get to hear from you this weekend. I LOVE YOU!!
