Diary entries are going to be fewer for the next 2 weeks. After spending a long day at supply I don't really want to get so involved in a huge post. Annual Training (AT) wasn't too bad today. I don't like to work in supply regardless of the reason, but to know that I have 2 weeks ahead of me.... bleh.

We did inventory today. It was the supply sergeant, another girl who works in supply, a supply guy, and a male Sgt who is also waiting to go to MP training. The 2 other females stayed in the supply room, updating files and doing paperwork. The 2 guys and I went to count stuff and reorganize the cage with the MP issue stuff and the TA-50 gear. It wasn't hard work, but it was time consuming and the Sgt, Pummill, was a type A personality who kept wanting to do things to perfection. There's nothing wrong with wanting to do a good job, but it's hard to please a perfectionist.

Thanks to Pummill's super motivation, we've tackled about 90% of what we were supposed to accomplish over the entire 2 week period in one day. I don't know what else we are going to do for the rest of the time, but I hate busy work. I need to feel like I'm doing something for a purpose or else I get pissy. I suppose no one likes to do stuff for no better reason than to look like they have something to do. There was some talk of playing cards though. So there is something bright to look forward to in my otherwise dismal future.
