So here I sit in wonderful Afghanistan. Again. I am flying again which is good. We spent the first week out here twiddling our thumbs which was ok I suppose. We got a chance to get acclimated and feel things out. We have since started flying, which is great but the army doesn't know how to use us. Although I have a feeling that is going to change soon.. I am ok with that too. I am sick, yay? Well its just a cold but its annoying to say the least. Stuffy nose sore throat etc...
On another note its almost Christmas, yet I don't really feel the holiday spirit. I want to, I want to be happy and merry. There are no lights no tree nothing to really remind me that its actually the holiday season. I have been living vicariously through Facebook and what other people have been posting. Which has sufficed for now. I am going to miss family and friends as the next few weeks go by. I want to be there with them. Mostly family, they've had a rough go this year. Between my sisters wreck and my grandma passing its been hard on my folks. I know me being gone isn't helping any either. Time is going by pretty fast but its still dragging when I look back at how long I have actually been out here. I still technically have over 4 months. Then there is the question of am I going to stay with this job? Where am I going to go if I don't. School? Work? What? I don't know... I like this field of work I just don't think that the company I am with has the crap together enough for this system to last... I hope I am proven wrong. I have come back three times to virtually the same stuff every time. Bad planning, poor communication, and a product that just isn't quite there. I don't have the answers to fix it, but even for me I can see that something needs to be fixed. Well I will sit here and mouth breathe till my drugs kick in and ponder the next move...
