  There are a lot of reasons why a person might stay up till 04:30 in the morning, and sleep untill noon.  Wheather it be stress, work, or for fun.  But I have found that in my personal arena, where I play as much as possible during the day, and stay up working on paper work all night, I get a lot done.

  I have made myself a rutine.  I wake up in time for lunch.  I check on my guys, and give them tasks for the day.  We work on whatever comes through the aid station, and sometime before dinner roles around, I try and hit the gym.  Sometimes I have to wait till the sun goes down.  Then comes the hours apon hours of my "real" job…  which I hate.  Paper work.  Getting and keeping records and supplies in order.

  This is not a job I ever wanted.  Paper work is something that the clerks can keep.  If you are or ever did hold a clerk type possition, I have nothing but respect for you.  I’ve never been so bored in all my life.  I don’t know how you do it.  I ussualy have to get up and move around every couple hours just so I don’t fall over dead.  Sometimes I go back to the gym to play some basketball, at which I suck.  I can’t believe that they call this a "promotion".  It seems like the higher I get in rank, the less fun I get to have.  I’ve been taken off the line after 5 years of service.  My job is to inventory and order medical supplies, and keep my aid station running.  I can’t wait till I can go on to bigger better things.

  When I get back to the States, I leave for the "Q".  I’ve already been selected.  If you’re military, you may know what that means.  Let’s just say it’s going to bring me back to the feild I love, and put me in the greatest shape of my life.  I think I can handle some late nights, and late mornings for now.  There’s nothing quite like a light at the end of your long dark tunnle.
