Talk about a let down

So this past Monday Elder Holland was supposed to come visit Al Udeid for our Stake Conference. I was really looking forward to having him here to speak to us. Well, he got to Qatar (which I can attest to being a really crappy flight) and when he tried to come onto base he was denied access. No, the Air Force didn't say "I don't think we're going to let this harmless American on our instillation." If the decision had been left up to the Air Force then I'd have an awesome talk to send out to everyone. But, since Al Udeid is actually owned by the Qatari government they get to decide who comes on and who doesn't, when it comes to civilians (I'm fortunate enough to be covered by the wonderful contract the U.S. government has made with Qatar, Elder Holland...not so much.) So Elder Holland traveled all the way out here to the world's litter box and was denied at the gate. We were never given a reason, it was just said that he didn't get to come on base because the Qatari customs agents said nope. So I don't get to meet an Apostle after all.

But aside from having that happen, this week has sucked. I was told I had to switch my day off to Sunday because there was an exercise on Wednesday. So I did, then the exercise was canceled. And since I've already had a day off this week I get to wait until next Wednesday to have another day off; so that's going to amount to 9 12-hr shifts in a row. Good thing I have 9 pairs of socks and shirts to wear to work. I don't, however, have enough PT shirts to go that long, so in order for me to get my sexy on this week I had to skip my cardio today and then again on Monday. But now y'all have an update on what's happening with me and it's time for me to go eat breakfast.
