If you seek bookish takes, geeky fuckery, random alliteration, and military stupidity, I have arrived. Full of used less info.
ATTENTION TO ORDERS

Saying “I’m gonna fuck off into the ether” is no longer an authorized way of saying goodbye to a room full of your peers, subordinates, and or your leadership.

——Nothing follows——

December 2026 can’t come fast enough. No more checking drill schedules before buying tickets to anything, no more bailing on friends or family.

I printed a bunch of “Closed due to Health Department violations” signs to post at random conference room doors. Need to keep my 1SG on his toes.

Amazon AI thinks I can fit my boobs in an XS. Bet. If anyone can recommend long sleeve/winter tshirts for under my uniform, I’d be very grateful. I’m tired of being cold.

I cleaned my room today.
My cleaning lady is going to be so happy.

At this point i’m just glad Find My doesn’t let people know that I looked at where they were before I asked them what they were doing. I see you’re at the gym but I to play video games so I’m trying to secure my gaming as soon as you get home instead of letting you make plans with your husband.

I spent Veterans Day apologizing to almost every single leader (and subordinate) I’ve ever had. My peers can get wrecked. They deserve me as a punishment.

Let the record show that if I reply to your 2am email with “this email should have been a fist fight”, I might just catch you walking to your car. After your post workout shower. And I’ll be wearing a sports bra, bike shorts, and crocs. Guard your face.

What do my CO and Therapist have in common?

Loving this shirt.

When I’m in uniform, I never miss an opportunity to kick my lil feets. I’ll sit on every surface I can that makes my feet dangle so I can kick em. Even a soap box. I’m that short.

If you email me at 1am, don’t be surprised when I reply at 1am.

Hi.
I used to be an SME.
Not any more.
Now I’m the personality hire.
Just a girl that’s tired of being tired.
Now I feed the troops. Talk about my garden or books. Bring baked goods. Plan parties & ceremonies. Yap.
Until my time runs out.
Then I will never talk about the last 20 years again.

Am I… Death?
July 10, 2025 at 12:34 AM
When I die, I want people to remember me for my best lines:

“That’s my load bearing coffee, sir”

And

“DONT DRINK THAT. It’s harmful without a pastry. Let’s get you a pastry, sir”

My entire army career I was treated like a personality hire so I became one. And that’s ok I guess.

Waking my 1SG up gently. Was never an option.

I explained a concern to someone today & was dismissed.

I cashed in on my hurt feelings & turned it into the plot of a new book.

The people I discussed it with after were very happy with the idea. Their criticism was constructive to the point of promoting further creativity.

Today was a good day.
