Far East Cynic

Too pissed to post.

My cell phone was stolen tonight-out of a locked locker at the gym. I know because I have torn the house apart and retraced my steps and I know I locked all my stuff away and was careful to make sure the lock was locked and spun.

So now I am just getting done filing reports and such canceling my cell phone and otherwise doing things I was not planning on doing tonight. GRRRRRR!!!

So listen to Nina-a girl from Japan who, besides being cute, also has a good command of the news and English:

And that’s a better analysis than you will get from Glenn Beck!

  1. Ah, I see your problem. You are advised on foreign policy and economics by 5 year old girls.

    And wow dude! Somebody PICKED the lock on your locker and then locked it after. Clever clogs. Have you tried dialing your phone? and they didn’t steal your wallet? and they didn’t steal your keys with the little clicker and then use that to steal your car out of the lot because, as you know, all one has to do to find the missing car is stroll around pushing the door lock button…. because the horn will honk and the lights will flash.

    So you ended up being the luckiest SOB in the world robbed by the finest lock picker in the world who was too damned stupid to take your wallet and car….

    Sounds like an insider job. Must be a TEA Party guy since a democrat would have totally cleaned you out that being their nature.

    Seriously though Skippy-san, sorry to hear about the robbery. I spent about an hour on the phone tonight with the former Director of Weapon Systems and told him that I appreciated his offer to flog my resume around Huntsville but I’d heard that working for Army Acquisitions Command was even worse than working for SPAWAR. Utter bastards without humor.

  2. Curtis: Not just 5 years olds, but five year old GIRLS… Why is that qualification needed? Or are girls less qualified to comment than boys?

    Well, she does get mixed up about who is throwing stones and who is wearing shields.

    Skip: it does sound like an insider job. In my experience it is usually the inside a taxi.

  3. E@L,

    Girls on the mind. My one and only is a very smart and cute 7 years old. For once, nothing derogatory meant in a post.

  4. Hope there were no “cynic state secrets” on that phone. Could lead to an international incident

  5. Curtis,

    I have heard different things about that-although in my opinion Army culture in general is pretty humorless, and especially so among the “creatures” that have grown up in the Acquisition Corps. That said, I’ve also heard good things about just about anywhere but the agency I work for. If you do decided to come to HSV-stay away from a certain three letter agency like the plague. Go over to the Aviation command-those guys always seem to be smiling. That’s why I eat lunch in their cafeteria.

    AMCOM is coming here in a big way-probably lots of jobs there. E-mail off line I can provide some more detailed gouge.
