Bootlickers?


Bootlickers!

Halfway through the week already, and time flies when your having fun! So, I guess that is why time is dragging here! No, it isn't that bad, and don't let all this fun on our blogs make you think we are having a great time ALL the time! Curt still can't control his temper, and SGT G continues to infuse her righteousness into our daily lives. And I am NOT talking about spirituality! I'm am talking about SHE always has to be right! Well she is just ask her! She told me the other day that when I first got here I said something to the fact that "Listen, if I needed to reiterate that I am wrong all the time, I would call my wife!"
But that was a total joke, because my wife is probably actually always right compared to me, I just like to talk and stick my foot in my mouth. I guess I just like the taste of feet! Anyways, I told G today that when I look at pictures we take from missions if her mouth is open I am picturing her saying "I'm right" in EVERY photograph! Just picking on her today because she only has 12 days left, and then it's ALL TESTOSTERONE TIME around here! No more females!!!! Finally, we can fart at work, leave the toilet seat up, burp, swear, tell dirty jokes, and fight all without having to do it on break! Wait!!! We do all that stuff now and we always have, so no change I guess! We always saw the females here like sisters, and we loved all of them like sisters, and also hated them like sisters!
Anyways, thought I would put a picture of our BBQ on Sat. that BG Granger grilled his famous ribs. They were pretty good. And being that I stayed up here for it when I hadn't gotten any sleep, I had to watch all the rest of the Surgeon Cell bootlick and salivate over him. I would say I am kidding, but you know politics at jobs, and sometimes I feel poeple are being fake just to put on a show for the man. Like when VIP's come ANYWHERE in the military the command wants everything extra special, and spitshined when that isn't really how day to day is, so are the VIP's gettng an accurate account, or a glossy short term makeover? I know all the bootlickers know what I am talking about!
Anyways, hopefully everyone is just having the greatest Wednsday since last week!
If not, start to!
Later,
Erik

Words of wisdom. If you want to climb the ladder of success, then you better find the right butts to kiss. Don't waste that pucker on a nobody. Watch that pucker Erik. You never know who is on the other end of it????
Bootlickers,I thought dogs were called bootlickers?
You have the funniest stories. I guess that is what keeps you guys going, humor. LOL Laughter is the best medicine.

I think the burping, farting, swearing, dirty jokes and all the rest sound like a good way to make a tough job more bearable and fun!

I guess we are all bootlickers in a way. I know I clean my little castle (shit hole) everyday, but I clean it extra well if I am having company.

I have a fuuny story for you. While in Bosnia I got a coin from BG Granger. I thought I was pretty cool until I found out all 20 slodiers that went through the 91W transition course got it too. So much for being important! Oh well. I try to treat everyone the same and if someone recognizes it, so be it. Boot lickin' (i.e. brown-nosing) only get's you so far. From then on, you have to use bribes!

Diana I will post something on that tommorrow OK. I have some things I can go over about how the troops feel(that I know)!
BTW, the only I pucker for is my wife, and if I ever did to anyone else for my personal gain, it obviously did not work. Well, maybe my in laws when I wanted to marry their daughter. I don't do enough of that anymore! And probably my parents on report card day, and when I came home late!
For those of you who know me, puckering is my pet peave. It is fake, and if I can't win you by being myself, then I don't want you, and your gonna have get your boots licked by someone else!
Drock, I got my BG Granger coin for doing my landscape work out front of the office, at the same time he gave them out to all that were leaving, and I was last because his LT found one in his pocket! Cool coin though, it's a normal coin material in the shape of a dog tag. He is also the 44th MEDCOM CDR, as well as our 18th ABN Corps Surgeon Cell CDR! All the coins I have gotten are cool from Iraq though!

I love that you have such a great sense of humor. But a BBQ in 125 degree heat... I'm not sure I could be too chipper for long!

I openly admit that I am anal and because of that I am usually technically right. All of that does give us a lot of laughs around the office. (Yes, I am even able to laugh at myself - so I am not a pretencious "always gotta' be right beee-awch").

Jen - thanks for backing me up on the "not so cool" bar-b-q. We all were sweatin' it that day.

Erik - as usual you keep me laughing which makes this office bearable.
