Day 10: 5 FEB 08

Another day another dollar. Tuesday nights seem to be my basketball night except tonight my right shoulder is really killing me. I think I strained it when I was in training in NJ and tonight has made it worse. Anyway we got like 4 more inches of snow so that makes like 6 to 8 in the last 2 days. Things are kind of slow work wise but I am still getting into a good flow and am getting settled in. I was told today I am being put in for best new broadcaster from my home unit. I doubt I will win but am humbled by the honor. I do love this job. Its funny because you think more about death when you go to a combat zone. But for me its like there is nothing at this point in my life I would rather being doing. Now once this is over I will be ready to go back to Germany and then the USA in a few years. The being away from the east coast where my old life is starting to wear on me. I know it wears on Michelle as she has no issues voicing her concerns there but I also know we enjoy the traveling. I did a superbowl piece and also got my picture in the snow today. I will try to post those tomorrow. I was kind of talking with a Polish guy in the shower area and forgot that I need to get in touch with the Polish lieutenant to setup that language exchange. More to come on that. If you have emailed me I will try to respond this weekend. I basically go to bed at midnight, get up at 8 and then to work til like 5 or 6 or 7. Plus I work on Sunday so…… Well goodnight for now. Tomorrow’s post should be more visually stimulating.
