The good news is that this airport has a USO since everything in the airport is crowded and they don't have free WiFi. The USO has free WiFi, food, drinks, a place to sit and TV. At least the Alabama - USC game is on. I'm torn. I really don't want Alabama to win, but, I can already hear all the Gamecock fans whining because they won't be ranked #1 if they do win. Then the next thing they would be talking about is how they should have beat Auburn. Well, it didn't happen. At least I'm not going to have to listen to them.
So, I'm reading a welcome letter from Qalaal House (Corps AEN Headquarters) regarding Malaria drugs. We were given doxycycline to take. It has to be taken everyday. They do have a drug that you can take once a week, mefloquine, but it can cause psychotic episodes and crazy dreams. Well, I for one am glad that I'm taking doxycycline.
OBSERVATIONS FROM THE WEEK: 1. There is such a thing as a stupid question. And some people will look for every opportunity to ask them. 2. You can learn something new everyday, even if you've been trained on it multiple times. 3. The dude at the South Carolina - Alabama game wearing a muscle shirt and Dale Earnhardt mustache and sunglasses is hilarious. Could be my next Halloween costume. 4. Why is it that the most annoying guy in the class always seems to be a little guy. I don't know when he flies but I sure hope he is not on my plane.
HOME FRONT UPDATE: Lily asked Katy if I was at work in Afistan (as her and L'man call it). This happened while she was on the potty, which is were we probably have our most in-depth conversations. Well, I guess she could be asking about me when she accidentally steps in dog crap in the backyard. It's a joy being referred to as the dog crap picker-upper by the kids :)
This will probably be my last post for a few days unless I have internet in Dubai (or I get bored and post something else later).
