A Little Bit of News Today...Very Little

The only news I received about the Army today really doesn't qualify as news. My accessions officer in the Office of the Chief of Chaplains is Chaplain Goode. He had sent no communications in a little over a month so I emailed today to check in. He told me I have been officially accepted on the Army Officer's Roll (yay!!!). Now I am waiting for my appointment orders so I can get my Request for Orders so I can get my Permanent Orders....blah, blaaahhhh....blah, blahhhhh...blah, blaaahhhhh....

In other words....hurry up and wait!

However, I nearly seriously injured myself at work today. Well....okay....er....I am not sure how serious it would have been, but it made my adrenaline flow. I had been studying at my desk for some time, and while a commentary lay open on my lap, my eyes began to feel heavy. When I sit at my desk to read, I tip my chair back on its back legs so I am in a semi-reclined position. Let's just say this: if you ever decide to rest you eyes for just a moment, put ALL of the chair legs back on the floor. I guess I sat a little too still for a little too long with my eyes shut. First, my head began to flop back which shifted my weight in the chair which then threw the balance off. I felt myself starting to tip over so I came to with a start and had enough presence of mind to forcefully throw myself forward. It was close and it wasn't pretty, but I made a four point landing. Next time if my eyes get heavy, I will walk down to the water fountain ; )
