Monday and Today

[eumelia]

Yesterday was utter crap from the get go.
The only good thing was that I kept hagar_972 company on her Birthday, that was of the good.
And that's where it ended.

My day started with a bud ride, it was already bad since it's the bus I take in the morning to my base. On this bus I lost my cellphone. My cellphone is my entire life! Well not really since I have most of my phone numbers written in my little handy phone book, but it certainly put a damper on the rest of the day.
So the minute I entered the base I was on the phone with the Bus company's information center, I got all the relevant numbers and passed them onto Mummy who was just dying to say "I told you so" to me since for the two and a half years that I've had this phone she told me I'd lose it one day if I kept carrying it in my pocket (where it has lived quite snugly) and it did fall out of my pocket. What makes this whole thing even worse is that on Saturday i misplaced my phone in Robbie's car, making him turn around and come back home so I could have it.

My family rocks when it comes to carrying out my "whims". I know it's not really whims, but my family is great at helping out and getting me out of jams.
So Daddy canceled my outgoing calls and Mummy found out the phone had been found by a (get this) a policeman and he took it to the Central Tel-Aviv District Police Station, which is where I went today. It was a whole lot less traumatic than I thought it was. It was just a really long walk from the the New Central Bus Station to the Police Station on Salame St, Yaffo (I know, I know...).

Yesterday was pretty miserable, since it was one bad thing after another. We didn't handle the goings on very well and now Omer (my ex-Co and of my commanders) wants to change the way we do things at the table, even though we've been doing fine for the past month, one really bad day doesn't negate the month of really fine work my station has been doing. Add to that, that I had to stay and actually talk directly to the slimy SOB, making Hagar and I miss the last bus and the train and then finding out that the train after that was twenty fucking minutes late!
So a bad day.

Today was okay and I'm meeting with Varda, a friend I've only met up with once since my return from the US.

I'm not really defending Omer here, but you should know that is wasn't his idea, and it's not because we weren't good enough. Quite the contrary: right now, us at the station are the only ones capable of keeping track of our mayham-y comm, and that rather idiotic idea which drove us all so nuts came from someone who (a) felt overwhelmed my the mayhem and (b) brought Authority down on Omer's head. Omer was the puppet here.

It was a whole hell for Yaron and I yesterday. You're sitting with Yaron today, so you'll probably hear the story from him. (And you'll only see this comment on the day after tomorrow, but oh well.) But, after what happened yesterday, I think they realized they should climb off of that tree. I don't know, of course, and will only know when I sit a shift with you tomorrow.

I feel so helpless at home.
