Whew, I need some prayer... As some of you know, my "day job" is working in the Air Force. I work 24 hour shifts in the missile field. This job never stops, so somebody has to be out here during holdiays, etc. Luck of the draw had me working Christmas Eve. I went to work around 7AM on Christmas Eve and stayed out until around noon on Christmas Day. Our relief crew came out and relieved us and we were getting ready to go home. Then someone decided that the roads were too bad to drive on, so we have to stay out here until AT LEAST tomorrow. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed. I know someone has to be out here, but I am missing Christmas Eve and all of Christmas day -- valuable family time that I won't have after my wife deploys in a few months. I understand some people have it far worse and I need to be thankful for what I have. But that doesn't change the fact that I wish I was home. Just felt like venting a little.... |
