Don't go Shopping On Sundays

Well, so far this day has gone by the way the snow falls. Snow can't decide whether to come or go, it will pour one day, and the next day it all melts away. Even though its sunday, I had to be at work. Air Sampling today. Which includes me putting out the Air Sampling equipment bright and early so I can pick it up while the sun is still out later today. I could already see the snow coming down, but it wasn't coming down to hard, so I went ahead and put out the TO-17s anyway. My NCOIC volunteered me to do a guardshift at 5 this evening so I had to put out the TO-17s in regards to that. I was pushing it too, as I have to pick them up 8 hours after I put them out. The PM10s I pick up 24 hours later. So I was giving myself a little time to put those out due to the fact that I didn't want to wake up tomorrow and get here early to go get them on account of the fact that my guard shift ends at One in the Morning. Well, the snow came down, and before I could do anything more, I was told to scrap air sampling today because of the risk. The roads are slippery. So the TO-17s are going to stay out all night. Hey, that's one less thing I have to worry about! Considering they blocked all of the roads off today and I had to go the back way and ended up following somebody who was going 10 MPH in a 15MPH zone! You know how infuriating that is? I guess that means I got the day off until about Five. A word to the weary, Camp Bondsteel is not the place to be on Sundays. Well, I take that back, apparently Camp Bondsteel IS the place to be on Sundays, all of the Foreign Nationals come here on Sunday to Shop at our PX and eat at our Chow Hall. The American Camp is the place to come, the Euro is strong against the Dollar and Hey! No sales tax! Our PX is the second highest grossing PX in the chain. Its because of the quantity of electronics we sell. And on Sundays, that place is a mad house. I had one thing to buy last week and I was in line for 15 minutes. I think I'll go back to my room and wait for lunch there.
