Still no cell phone, but I did have a chat with my recruiter about it yesterday, finding out that he sent it through ZipShip, who couldn't ship it express to a Naval Air Station or maybe they just don't ship express or whatever, and he didn't feel like going a mile down the road to the post office, so I'm two and a half weeks in the hole SO FAR with that, because he couldn't be bothered. And seeing as how he wasn't even supposed to be the one sending it to me, because he was supposed to have gotten it to Jim since Jim has been handling things for me on my home front, it's just that much more frustrating. I've already gotten the package of CD's, photos, and my cell phone *charger* that Jim sent a week and a half after Murray mailed out the phone itself, because Jim actually DID sent it express. Herm.

Anyway.. in better news, I had a very outstanding appointment with the dentist this morning, and feel much better taken care of here than I was at boot camp. And I will start class for real tomorrow and should graduate and leave on October 7th, making it home just in time for the annual Garlic (and wine) festival I love so much, if all goes well.

And I got some Spam in my old, old yahoo account today (I actually look through the junk mail folder sometimes since a lot of real emails are sent there both by yahoo and hotmail) and one of the lines was "Did you seen that?" Another was "our meeting on the 1th " .. Good for a chuckle. I keep trying to say that one in my head.. firth, I suppose. Which is a funney word, too.

I had watch from four to six this morning (which means it starts at 3:30am), and you can't "phase up" on duty days, so I've still got the red sticker indicating no civilian clothes (etc) on my badge, but should be able to get the orange one tonight as all the kids that came here with me from boot camp got theirs yesterday. That will feel really good.

And now I'm gonna go grab a bite real quick since our lunch break will be over soon enough and I've gotta rejoin the class (from which I seperated for dental, of course) after lunch. I'll have duty this weekend again, but then will have Monday off. It won't be anything like past labor days in my old town, but maybe there'll be something fun going on for it.

Mmmhmm..
