morning sunshine

The only time I really hate my job is when my alarm goes off in the morning. Once I'm up and at work, it's not so bad. But the dragging my ass out of bed part... Ugh.

This morning my phone alarm went off and I hit the snooze button. About a minute later, it went off again. What. The hell.

Usually I hit the snooze by groping about my nightstand, locating my phone, and pushing this little button on the side, but this time I looked and it was actually a phone call. From a strange number.

I've been instructed to answer any strange numbers.

So I did. I was greeted with the best wake up call ever:
"Hey toot."
(and then an echo.)

Yay, Chris has made it safely to the other side of the world! It's 11 hours time difference. The phone call was a bit funky with the echoing and lag time. I guess call quality isn't supposed to be awesome when you're that far away. We chatted for a bit as I slowly woke up, and suggested that he try and call in the mornings when I'm driving to work. How convenient, and a motivating way to make sure I'm up and driving to work on time.

So far he's doing okay. Still trying to shake some sinus/ cold/ cough thing, but they're pumping them with tons of drugs to ward off malaria and God knows what else, so he's starting to feel better. I asked him what they would be doing, but of course their mission is classified. He did say it was a little different from most missions, and that he was looking forward to it. Knowing Chris, that could be either a good thing or a bad thing.

I'm going to choose to believe that it's a totally safe, mellow mission. Like petting kittens. Haha, could you imagine a bunch of guys in camouflage and gear sitting around petting kittens? Sounds like the start to a very bad gay porn.

Anyway. Dinner's almost done.
