Story of the day................
First day back to "real" work in over a week......and a late shift at that!
This meant that after another night of only 2 hours sleep, I was gonna get to sleep in a little
NOT! 
0700hrs:
Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
FUCK! Who is ringing my door bell at 7 in the morning?
So I go down stairs to find a dopey ass looking plumber who casually asks me "Oh - sorry man....did I wake you up?"
"No - I usually have hair that is bigger than a beach ball and bags under my eyes"
So he heads into my basement to do whatever it is the military hired him to do, and I figure that since I am up - I might as well go out for a jog
Fastforward to 0800hrs:
When I am out jogging, I am usually in "THE ZONE"..... I tune out most things around me. So there I am - out on the highway with my MP3 player on (which is actually illegal on my base but who cares) when all of a sudden this truck comes swerving over to me and almost knocks me into the ditch
"Uh yeah - I'm just going on a coffee break"
"So you almost killed me to say that?" I look at him like he is a fuck tard!
"Um no - I also wanted to tell you that the electricians are gonna be there in about an hour"
Great
- so I kick my run into high gear so that I make it home in time to shower before more strangers invade my house.
Fast forward to 0930hrs:
There I am - all lathered up in the shower letting the hot water masage my aching muscles when to my suprise, my smoke detector starts to go off! I grab a towel and haul ass down the stairs and out the door not knowing what is going on. I wanted to murder in the worst way when I see the electrician come sauntering out my front door laughing to tell me that he accidently set the alarm off and wondered if I would actually do anything since I was in the shower After a few choice words (that weren't so lady like) I try to cover my dripping wet body as best I could with my towel and grumble as I go back inside to try and finish my shower.
Once I finished my now ruined shower I started to get dressed in my uniform minding my own business. I have a tendancy to walk around the house half dressed and since this guy was in the basement I didn't feel that I should have to worry too much. WRONG! As I was walking around in my combat pants and bra, I hear this guy starting to make his way up the stairs to "talk" to me! MAN - I scurried to my room to grab a T shirt and got it on just in time for him to come tell me that the smoke alarms would beep for about an hour until they were set properly. I DON'T CARE!! I was about to start an 8 hour shift so if they beeped when I wasn't home I could care less.
Boy - the guys at work had to listen to me bitch about my morning since I was now grumpy!
Fastforward to 1930hrs:
It is now 7:30pm and the smoke detector is still beeping......Not for long! I ripped that sucker right out of the ceiling
Ok - I DID put it back but that was only because I realized that it wasn't put back up properly by the electrician in the first place
I think that I am going to start a collection of body parts from stupid trades people that seem to think that my mornings off are for their amusement. Not just ANY body parts either - the ones they REALLY value
I hope you all had a better morning than I
