Who thought Monday's were a good idea?

6:03am my phone rings and I was preparing for someone to die! Who would dare call me this early in the morning. Don’t they know the rules? NEVER before 8am but of course it was Corey, no one else would dare call me that early. I think he might be the only person who is not afraid of me. So after the well expected cussing, he tells me why he is really calling…. His orders to go to Afghanistan have come through…. 7 months in the something I can’t pronounce province. Now, we all know how I feel about war but why does it have to be my people? Send someone else! He then proceeds to tell me there is no phone, internet or even mail service over there. Apparently, it is undeveloped territory. Nice, just where you need to be butthead… why not send out invites to all the terrorist and say…

Hey Yo Mr. Terrorist,
I am out in the middle of the mountains & deserts. Just thought you would like to know where, just look for the big Hum-V’s and Tents…. Yeah that’s us… send a bomb our way! You can come cuddle with me in my hole in the mountain if you would like we do have warm sleeping bags!
See you soon

I mean really… NOT SAFE! Good thing there is no mail system. Too bad he can’t take sick days and get out of going there. Although, I don’t think he would even if he had too! He got mad at me when I told him I hoped he blew his knee out or his ankle this morning at PT…. Oh well it’ll keep your goofy ass here. Shoot something here, blow something up here…. A lot less dangerous! Anyways, 7 am on a Monday and I am awake. Not only did I get woken up, I get woken up with terrible news and I realize Corey has become an angry person all of a sudden! I mean I know him inside out and I know what it is but as an EX I can’t tell him anything… I can just listen! That makes it even worse! I know he trusts my advice and I want to tell him what to do to not be so angry but I can’t. Although, I was telling him about Donkey this morning and that proved to be an interesting conversation. Anger at 7 am makes for interesting conversation. Guess I am gonna go work out all my anger with strip aerobics now….
