Today was one of those days...

General
I depend on these people to survive.
-Couldn't find any name tapes, so I had to go around as a mystery man, and let me tell you, the assholes crawl out of the wood works JUST to get all up in your ass about NOT HAVING A GOD DAMNED NAME TAPE~ THANKS YOU PIECE OF SHIT I FUCKING KNOW I DON'T HAVE A NAME TAPE! IT'S OBVIOUS! DO YOU THINK YOU'VE DISCOVERED SOMETHING NO ONE ELSE NOTICED? DO YOU FANCY YOURSELF AN EXCEPTIONALLY OBSERVANT PERSON? WRONG! YOU'RE JUST THE AVERAGE RUN OF THE MILL DICK CHEESE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FACT THAT YOU'RE DUMB ENOUGH TO DRAW ATTENTION TO THE FACT BY OPENING YOUR MOUTH AND LETTING THOSE DANGEROUS NOISES CALLED WORDS COME OUT. Goddamnit
-One of our briefings was about dangerous wildlife. When everyone was allowed to approach the tanks, several privates proceeded to tap the glass in an effort to make the snakes strike. When I told them that it was inappropriate (the poor snakes were obviously scared to death as it was), ALL OF THEM lashed out with explanations of how the animals would be killed at the days end. I replied with "That's sad" and they responded with "Why's that sad, it could kill you?"
1) I don't give a rats ass what's going to happen to the animal, you've been taught since you were 5 NOT TO TAP THE GLASS! Full grown men. SOLDIERS. Disgraceful.
2) If you were about to die, would you like to be tormented as you torment the snake?
3) You're trusty dog could kill you too, but you'd be sad if someone "took a .22 to his head" wouldn't you?
-I ran into a new guy and attempted to explain some things to him. As I apparently told him something incorrect, someone jumped in with "WRONG AGAIN JACKASS!"
1) Really? You couldn't have just said something like "Actually, that's not right. It's..." or "I'm not sure that's right" Why the FUCK would you make a point to prove that you're the shitbagging buddyfucking jackass in the equation? It makes no sense to me. Just saying.
-Haven't been able to go to the PX to get razors, so I wasn't able to effectively shave my face and I got laced up for it. I could give a damn what my fellow privates think, but I HATE being less-than-perfect for my Sergeants. Particularly the one who got me for it.
-I fell asleep in one of the briefings today (it was safety stand down day) and got smoked by the same Sergeant. I did get to explain why I was out of sorts though, so it ended up being a hickup in the badness.
-When everyone was doing the beer goggles driving course, many cones were being knocked down, and the only people who were there to pick them up were a police officer in a NAVY BLUE uniform and my Sergeant. Being a soldier in the united states army and thusly having an innate desire to ease the woes of those around me (army values and all that) I decided to help reconstruct the course after it was inevitably destroyed after every run. My fellow privates MOCKED me. The lowest low point of my day.
-On my way back to my room from formation, I reached into my pocket to retrieve the glasses I bought SUNDAY. They were and remain broken.
-The march back from study hall was a wet one. It waited until we were outside to start really raining. FABULOUS!
Let's hope I don't get woken up for some insane reason tonight as the CQ sergeant goes through for bed checks. That would be the icing on the cake.

My friends are my life.
But hey man, dumb does as dumb is. If you're just now figuring out that there's a decent number of people out there who are shit, you're a little late to the party. And don't let a bout of bad luck combined with the jack assery of others get you too down. Cheer up, Hitman, it could always be worse.
