Tired.

Sometimes you work hard, come back home, and you feel like you accomplished something. Tonight it feels like when you have been running for a awhile and you come to the base of that hill that you usually power up and over, but today you can't find the reserves, and it is a grind to just get half-way up (and your legs are cramping, and you got that god-awful stitch in your side - not to mention that you are sucking air like a beached goldfish...). Um, yeah, something like that. Anyhow, we put in some long hours this week - the heat hasn't helped - and we just got ripped by our OIC about the level of output we are producing. Crap, I just got here, and it feels like I'm behind. I have been getting to bed by midnight and getting up at 0400 (don't ask me how one stays genki on four-hours sleep). Aside from that, everything else is peachy! Actually, I'm certain that things will work out alright, but it is this transition that bites - we lost a slew of experienced people, and know our command is panicking that we new folks aren't seamlessly picking up the harness and pulling with our full weight. The job is incredibly tedious, but I'm trying to put a happy face on it (while looking for the EJECT button incase this place implodes). Aside from the running analogy, I actually went running this morning. Due to OPSEC, I really can't tell you much about the camp, or the route I run, or pretty much anything that might possibly raise the blood pressure of a security manager. Um... that is about it - gotta get back to work!
