4th day at work
At least five times this week, I have been back and forth to the building where all clothes can be picked up. Today I managed to complete my new wardrobe. The right sized green underwear and sports bra too, along with shorts, jackets, one skirt, trousers, jumpers, t-shirts, shoes, boots, helmet, rain clothes and everything else that fills two big lockers with my name on it.
Picking up my clothes has taken up most of my time at work this week. I have also learnt that speed in the military only has one pace – it’s spelled – SLOW.
Today I spent an insane four hours trying to complete a security test to get access to my e-mail account, but will have to carry on after the weekend as I ran out of time.
The online test involved reading a lot of information gathered in chapters. After each section, I had to answer security questions to see if I had understood. The problem wasn’t answering the questions, but the fact that I had to read everything at least three times to understand the language. It’s not because I am slow, the language was just not written for a person doing a security test, or for reading online. It was written for and by a state body, not a human!
On a more positive note, I now have access to the brand new military gym and personal trainer and need to spend at least three hours per week getting my arse fighting fit during office hours. I also have free access to the gym, fitness classes and swimming pool in town.
Will spend the weekend curing my sore throat and then start my new regime.
