I turned 21 today... or yesterday... Depnding on what side of the international dateline you're on... Anyway, the 15th of August is my birthday... It marked the second time I've spent one underway... No man should ever, under any circumstances, spend his 21st underway on a Naval vessel in a Naval uniform... It's just wrong... Regardless... It all started out pretty shitty... "J" wasn't even talkin' to me, still mad over something so trivial it's not worth posting. There has to be a written rule somewhere prohibiting the use of the silent treatment on someone on their birthday, but apparently "J" never read it... She kept it up well into the day in question, 'til nearly the eleventh hour and I was getting pissed at how borderline inhumane she was being... and then I went to my rack... She left me a card... it made me feel like an asshole for being mad at her... she's good at that...
Later on Anti-Joy showed up after her shift at our shop... She sang the most excruciating verse of "Happy Birthday" ever and then bestowed me with a cake that'd been disfigured beyond description... But it was really thoughtful of her and I must admit to being slightly moved by it...
The Cubs are leading the central division now... Nothing else matters...
