I think the saying is more along the lines of "a watched pot never boils" however my perspective right now is a watched calendar never changes. I think the last week has gone by the slowest of any week I can remember here. I'm stuck between the new and exciting, which passes quickly, and the resolved that I'm here for a while stage. Most of the time I'm spending training the new guy here to try and get him comfortable running things for the last 4 weeks of the contract after I leave. At least there are regular "customers" that come and chat. I usually get a good story or two about some of the interesting things that are going on around me. I think I have gotten so used to this place that I have forgotten about the war going on around me.
Well, the countdown continues and I have less than 2 weeks left here at my base. The journey home will take a while but the time should pass quickly once I start traveling.
