This one morning, it was like everyone had put "dickhead sprinkles" on their breakfast cereal as we were having a particularly crap morning on site. We had to pass through a series of punch code locked gates to get from one compund to another, which were starting to show their age. The LTCOL was having some issues getting the code to work when the Wing Commander(0-5) of the sirforce element on the base came up behind us and made a smart arse remark about operator error and army guys being dumb. Now this guy was a real slug, the kind that gives the airforce their deserved reuptation within the forces, and we really weren't in the mood for any shit. Knowing my Colonel was gritting his teeth trying to to kill this guy, I turned to the Wing Commander and said, "Sir, I can't tell you to go f@#k your self, but the Lieutenant Colonel here sure can." The Wing Commander stopped dead in his tracks and blinked, meanwhile the Colonel and I passed through the gate and left him standing there, wondering if an Army Captain could say that to a Wing Commander. For some reason the day seemed a little brighter, if just for a while.

Seizure-like twitches normally don't happen to me unless I'm REALLY sleep deprived. Did you sleep at all during the weekend?

The bus was late this morning, so I figured I would catch a little more sleep. I went straight into REM dream-phase when I closed my eyes, and I had a whole series of those dreams where you're walking and then you lose your footing, followed by a soccer dream... anyway, I woke up with everybody standing around me asking if I was all right, or having a seizure because I was spazz-kicking in my sleep.
