Some would say that three months just isn't enough time to give a relationship before moving in together. This should hold doubly true for a three-month old relationship during which I have been on the road for more than half of it. That may contribute to the euphoria and success, but that remains to be seen. We're moving in together. I am kinda stoked.
In other news I have been offered a job that would negate my obligation to deploy to Afghanistan with my reserve unit. The caveat? I am going to Afghanistan with my new employer instead. For much more pay. Again, I am kinda stoked.
In not so amazing news: the past five years (or so it seems...according to my calendar it has only been twelve days) I have been subjected to roughly 200 million hours of powerpoint presentations and monotonous presenters. I spend half of the time struggling to stay awake by downing cup after cup of coffee, and the other half completely asleep. During a period of hazy half-dreams today I perceived my surroundings in high contrast colors, and my peers as abstracts. They were all simple shapes of color moving in unison. I imagined that my head was like a boulder under a slow waterfall, and the steady impact of water (like chinese powerpoint water torture) was slowly eroding the surface until almost near a critical point, the point at which the pressure of sleepiness and frustration and incoherent dream thoughts would be greater than my fractured skull's finite capacity for retention. Then, like a fleshy volcano, my head erupted. Gallons of grey matter and skull fragments and alligators and crab nebulae shot forth in the full vivid spectrum of visible color across the entirety of the conference room and over every cartoonish person around me.
Now, I am awake. But soon the two lunesta I took will take over and I will be asleep. I like sleep. A lot. Wake me up when it's time to go back to Georgia.
Oh, I'm in New Jersey right now. If you have seen the show and are wondering if that really is how the Shore is... worry no more. The whole state is like that, but worse. Fist-pumping fake-tanned assholes everywhere.
