Today I am such a grump. Everything just seems to be getting on my nerves. I think it may have started with work. We have been working our asses off since the day we arrived here. Today we were going to take a half day off and enjoy some down time. So we got the camp all finished up and ready for the rest of the team to arrive. As we were getting in the boats we notice a blazing fire a little more than a kilometer away. OK, honestly we had noticed it quite a bit earlier but figured it would just go away. We decided that the best thing to do is to move our water pumps so the Vietnamese military guards could fight the fire if it got too close to the camp. As we're setting up the pumps, a wind from Hades kicks up and suddenly the fire is quite threatening to the enormous camp that we had just finished. Suddenly we were all out in the stupid field trying to stop the fire. Just when I thought this place couldn't get any hotter. Four hours later, we managed to stop it and hopefully it didn't start again after we left.
"oh crap"

Then tonight we went to this big festival/concert thing in town. On the way we had to stop and get a drink at some crappy place because the guys thought the waitresses were hot. I am so annoyed with spending so much time with men. Watching their feeble attempts to pick up women who they can't communicate with is rapidly losing it's entertainment value. After that little adventure we headed to the concert and this big group of kids were daring each other to run up and touch me. Holy crap, I nearly punched a small vietnamese kid. I am so quickly annoyed with people invading my personal space and to combine that with my very small amount of patience for children.... oh it was almost too much.

ohhh, that looks like Colorado during the fire season. I take it you won't be bringing any little kids home with you (or grown men for that matter!)???
We "men" ain't all like that, Mase. Just remember that.
God, am I that freakin old already that I could be considered a man. NO! I won't have it! I got to get back to my very important fingerpainting! Green slime is getting all over my keyboard.
Now kids though-- they all are brats.
