okay, i think i should elaborate on my previous entry; partly because i was uber tired and fatigued from yesterday's work and could only manage to write that puny condensed entry with the mangled remains of my brain.

it started with a 4km run in the morning right afetr i woke up that left not just me, but everybody tired and sluggish. giving everybody only 45mins to bathe and have breakfast was uncomfortably impossible and that obviously made the entire situation worse. we were the living dead in green. and then the arrows started coming in.

there was to be a conference later that day- mind you, that conference is apparrently one with the highest protocol, other than the presenters the members were of a rank of at least a major- and our camp had to present some projects taht we were working on. i was arrowed to come up with a presentation slide, Just the slides. and so i did, within half an hour; cause remember, i was tired Already. and then the vetting of the slides started and the person who was supposed to present it couldn't explain it properly, so i guessed i just added in a few words here and there to explain in greater detail - i honestly think the idea is a good one and didn't want it to go down the drain just because the bars and crabs didn't have a clear picture about it - and then, the nonsense happened. base commander asked me to present this particular project at the conference that day. imagine my expression: STUN.

butterflies in my stomach throughout the journey to the meeting venue but i thought, what the heck. just get it over and done with. and so i did. it went well, so well that the project was apporved almost immediately albeit some questions here and there. but we did well. good. so then we were supposed to return back to base camp at 1700h and then the next nonsense happened. base comd asked me to send the rest back to camp, then go to his house to pick up his wife and then send her back down to meeting place. apparently there was an impromptu dinner for them. crap.

so i did just that. by the time i got back to camp it was already 1915h and i was already fatigued. another trip down would honestly kill whatever energy i have left. but what to do? i couldn't deviate this arrow and soon found myself back in the very same city i was in 4hours earlier. i only left the city at 2200h and reached back to camp at 2330h.

a quick bath and a quick check on the inbox and then a quick short puny entry of the entire day's work forced me to go to bed at 0000h. and then i had to wake up at 0350h to go to the airport.

so here i am at the airport writing this seemingly elaborate description of what exactly happened yesterday. i'm still tired and sleepy; nothing much has changed physically since yesterday. but i think i'm quite satisfied.
