Waiting

Well, it is Sunday, November 2, I may have to go to Iraq. on January 5 I won't know until at least Monday, possibly Tuesday. They were nice enough to let me know of the possibility on Friday with no resolution until the following week.

It has been a fun weekend.

It sucks because a year-long trip to Southwest Asia requires no small amount of preparation and planning. I've spent the entire weekend making up these plans. I am incredibly anxious.

I figure there is a one-in-four chance I will be leaving in January. Multiplied by the duration of the deployment, twelve months, my "share" is three months right now. I should feel three-months-in-Iraq concerned, which is probably right, because I definitely don't feel 12-months concerned.

Well, I guess we'll find out in a day or two.
