Overworked and underpaid

Well, maybe not underpaid, considering I just got another 3.1% raise.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............

Yeah, underpaid. But technically not overworked either. Perhaps better defined as worked at a level generally higher than I would prefer.

Iraq tip of the day - if you have computers set up on a typical folding table, a twin bed sized fitted sheet can be used as a dust cover to increase cleaniless of the work area. The more you know.

Not that we have a dust problem right now - we are awash in an ocean of mud. From fenceline to wired fenceline - mud. Iraq mud is like Iraq flies, somehow engineered to be the worst possible type in the entire world. Like God was bored one day and decided that the environment of Iraq needed to be just a little bit more awful, and decided to add two months of rain and filthy mud in case there was any confusion about this country's status on his naughty and nice list. I know in two more months it will be fast approaching 100 degrees and we'll all be hot again, but for now, mud sucks.
