We received a box of toys today. I can’t even make this up. We sent one of our office mates home and in return he sent a box of debauchery. I walked into the office this morning and there was a glow stick with a star attached to the top like a magic wand. I looked around the office and said, “What’s this?” To which the movement NCO replied, “It’s your magic wand because you are a Princess.” I smiled real big, “I’m a Princess?” “No, I did not just call you a Princess, that was a mistake,” he said. I started laughing and telling everyone that stopped by the office that Jeffery called me a Princess.
We also received dinosaur hats, a plastic police hat, fake gangsta teeth, silly string, coffee, and chips and salsa. Our NCOIC has been wearing his dinosaur hat all day. The hats model the top of a tyrannosaurus rex’s head so the teeth are on an extra long bill and the hat itself is made out of foam. The boss, looking solely at our NCOIC in his dinosaur hat, announces to the office that we may be visited by a General Officer tomorrow. We all chuckled and promised to clean up our spaces and to not wear our funny hats, but that was after the silly string war, of course.
I enjoyed a nice long lunch with my new friend today, but was saddened to hear that he is moving to a new FOB soon. We had some good laughs nonetheless.
Our new LT had the reconstruction bug hit him again today. He found a crash cart and decided it was a perfect addition to our office. In order to get it where he wanted it, he had to tear down parts of our TV mount. The cart was unknowingly full of medical supplies such as gauze, Band-Aids, hand sanitizer, tape, nothing dangerous of course. He emptied the cart and refilled it with our food stash items and it is now affectionately known as our MWR cart. The top shelves are full of paper, binders, and other work appropriate items so as to camouflage our goodies from the rest of the building. Yes, we are a selfish bunch, but we share amongst each other.
