This could turn into a ME type rant over the next couple weeks, so sorry if I get more and more insane.
Simple starter, I'm in Baghdad, locked down on a Diplomatic Compound. Multi national coalition troops, TCNs, and until last week local national employees that came and went daily... after Baghdad already had confirmed cases, but not a lot. Probably due to their shitty infrastructure and general attitudes towards everything.
No, I don't have the virus, I feel fine, but as of last night they sequestered half of our program to work from our CHUs for the next two weeks, possibly longer to minimize as much interaction as they can. Good news is I get to work without pants on, bad news it that becomes easily distracting. Going to seriously binge watch some shows and movies, been reading on my kindle so much my eyes are going blurry by 9pm daily.
I stopped going to the gym a few weeks ago cause Italians can't seem to clean up after themselves, and are just generally rude assholes with no courtesy. I even yelled at one of their COs in the dfac the other day for licking his fingers in line while ahead of me. Now they're also posting security guards at the entrance to make sure people wash their hands, again, blame the Italians. I always get my food to go, never eat in there cause I hate people, and cause of the dirty finger lickers.
Expect my descent into madness to be less hilarious than any way ME would compose it, and expect more "WTF" type scnarios as my sanity crumbles. Going to be doing lots of running, pushups, and masturbating. Basically I'm in high paid prison, so things could be worse.
Oh yeah, I was supposed to be going home on a permanent transfer for good this coming Sunday. Now I'm probably here for a least a couple more months while my wife is home attempting to not murder my 3 kids. Good thing she stocked up on tequila a while back in anticipation of this nonsense.
