Army Post Road

     I suddenly, at 1130 at night, have a roommate. With no warning. A guy returned from Texas a day before he was supposed to and is staying in the other half of my suite. I didn’t even know he was going to be staying in here. This is not a situation I particularly care for.
     The housing situation here is becoming quite frustrating. Essentially, because of the services I have to pay for, I am paying to stay here in the barracks while people who outrank me (who already get paid more because of that fact) are getting paid to stay in the hotels because in addition to free cable TV (with a TV provided) and free Internet, they are receiving a per diem for food costs they, by and large, aren’t incurring and are agitating to get paid even more. In less than a month they are going to move us out of the present barracks and into new ones and the status quo won’t change. We’ll still have to pay for TV and Internet and they’ll still be getting it for free and be getting paid extra for living in hotels. If they don’t move us out to hotels, I’m going to file concurrent Inspector-General and Congressional complaints about the situation.
     Additionally, the ‘u’ key on my keyboard isn’t functioning properly.
     I have to get to sleep. I’ll discuss it more tomorrow.
