Oops

So, a few little growing pains here and there. We need to adjust our satellite twice a day. A few days in a row at the end of my shift I adjusted it as I left, but was always asked if I'd adjusted it upon my return. I was very confused. It's not a complicated process. But apparently it is very difficult if you are adjusting the wrong satellite. There were also a couple of other easily fixed mistakes. We'll call them learning opportunities.
On an unrelated note, in just the short time I've been near a TV, I think I've seen every cheesy Armed Forces Network commercial. Nothing is funnier than an anti-chewing tobacco commercial produced by the military. It's probably a greater irony than the "Truth" commercials being funded by the Tobacco industry.
My plan to only bring a couple of books and leave the laptop at home has worked very well. I work, eat, PT, and sleep. My boss did the same thing. Apparently there are people that bring DVD players and have their spouses ship them recordings of their favorite shows. If you work a desk, it is surprisingly easy to get fat when you go off to war.
