Oh man, we have no hot water in the dorms, and they don’t know when it will be fixed. I am so bummed. I am not one of those people who looks great without a shower, and plus, it makes it a little hard to work out when you can’t wash the sweat off. I feel so dirty right now, so to make me feel better, at lunch, I ate cake. Now, I STILL feel dirty, but I also feel fat, so I feel BETTER about feeling dirty. What?  IT MAKES SENSE TO ME.

***edited to add - So, I found out this afternoon why our hot water is out - here is the copy and paste from the commander in response to another resident wondering why we have no hot water:

The hot water issue at dorms 1430 and 1431 is two-fold. First, we recently replaced the boilers by contract in the dorms’ shared mechanical room. The boilers have gone out several times and we’ve had the contractor back doing warranty repairs to fix them.

Second, the base recently lost its fuel delivery contract and we’ve run out of fuel for the boilers at several bldgs. That’s what happened at your dorm (and 7 others) last night. We’re working with LRS to provide in-house fuel delivery until we get a fuel delivery contract back on line.

Um - WHHHHATTTT? I have no hot water because they RAN OUT OF GAS? <insert your choice of curse word here - as long as it starts with F and ends with UCKERS.> Okay, now.  JOHN? Can I get out of the military?  Immediately?

So, you guys saw yesterday I got my iPod, right? Wellllll…Remember when I said that I would have no clue how to put music on it? Ha ha ha! I know me so well! I thought John was putting music ON the iPod for me, right? So I browsed all over that iPod looking for the music, and when again and again I pushed “music – songs – all” or…whatever… and nothing would come up, I came to two conclusions, both of which will illustrate the serious depth of my dumb-ness: Conclusion #1. Somebody DELETED all the songs while it was being shipped here, (I was very indignant about this) and conclusion #2. Apple messed up and sent TWO iPods this time around, and John sent them both to me, as a surprise, and I just happened to pick the one that didn’t have the music on it yet (about THIS, I was very happy.)

…

Yes, I’m totally serious.

…

I’m that dumb.

…

For realz.

So – moving along, with idiotic conclusions in hand, I glanced in the box John shipped the stuff in, and in there, was a CD, and ON that CD was the word: MUSIC. A-hem. Me: “Treena, you are a freaking dumbass.” So, I booted up the ol’ laptop, and proceeded to install the iPod software, then I easily uploaded songs to my iPod, with no problems whatsoever.

Y’all.  You didn’t believe that, did you?  Because, c’mon.  I am NOT THAT SMART. It took me THREE HOURS to create ONE 39 song workout playlist and get it transferred to my iPod. By the time I got done, it was 9:30 pm, and I was seriously considering packing that thing back up and mailing it off to Lindsey for her birthday present. Because if my almost 12 year old daughter can figure this stuff out, and I can’t? Sighhh… Now, in my defense, since the day I met John, I have not had to do one thing with any of the computers we own, or, for that matter, any electronic related equipment, period. My knowledge is six years old, so it’s not my fault I’m completely ignorant, right? RIGHT?? Well, whatever the case may be, I was seriously disappointed when I woke up this morning at 4:30am to go workout, and discovered during my daily “is there hot water today?” check that in fact, there WASN’T hot water, which I already mentioned, but – getting back on track: I was saddened, because I struggled so hard over that one measly workout playlist, and I couldn’t even use it.

CIAO!
