Sunday, April 04, 2004 0 comments Post a Comment Another retro song on its way!! Starships " Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now ". Duty was pretty bad this weekend. I am an inferior signaller. I can't start my generators! I took 50 tries and still failed at the end. And my campmates take ONE attempt to get the metal motor going. Now my hand aches like crazy. And it was pretty darned embarressing when both my officers (" Females one some more!! " the chauvinist shouts.) got around and asked me if they could help. Eeeps. And i hurt my waist in e process. And got my sergeant down at 8 plus for nth, cos i suspected e gen was spoilt and he started it in .. well... ONE try. Egad. But he taught me e right way and i managed to start e stupid machine in one to two tries for e next 2 days. But i'm bruised. Physically and emotionally. haha. 4/04/2004 12:40:00 PM
