But It's Good Enough For Government Work

It has been brought to my attention that they now make M&M Dark Chocolate candies. This is probably the best thing to happen to me in the last 7 months. Someone had a box at the COP and I ate half of the packages in there during my last two day trip.

Like all good things, M&M Dark candies cannot be obtained in Iraq.

This is where you come in. Christmas is coming. I'm easy to please.

The computers available here for us to use are in rough shape. I switched from a desktop that ground to a halt when I opened a whopping four internet windows to a laptop that has a touchpad that jumps all over the place and clicks randomly, a collection of loose keys (with letters worn off), and a left touchpad button that will only work on certain links.

I imagine the frustration this causes is fractionally similar to that felt by those dealing with MS or other neuro-muscular disorders. I'm pushing the right buttons but can't make happen what this thing is supposed to do. This computer ought to be sent to a special kind of hell for evil tech-support jerks.

I couldn't help but notice the time you posted your last four blogs. You should be sleeping, and it's my job to scold. Bad, bad man. No dark chocolate M&Ms.
