bitching

that northstar exercise. saw a few familiar faces. but that's not the main point. i figure they must have had a pretty tough time pleasing everyone. it's partially "unreal" to a sense, but that really can't be helped. but people are still thinking it could have been done better. some even suggested doing it the "surprise" way in which nobody knows it's coming. oh man that would have been... wow. chaos. total disarray. all for the sake of an exercise. there are some things civilians wouldn't know, but i believe a lot of emergency response units conduct their own exercises unannounced often. at least for the one i was in they certainly did. i enjoyed it as an experience i know i'd never have again once i leave the army. but back to the general public. of course everyone's entitled to their opinions, but surely the government would need to seek the understanding and cooperation of everyone affected to carry out these rehearsals that ensure the safety of everyone in the country.

i'm taking another ippt tomorrow. afternoon. but i'll bet it's going to rain again. hope things turn out ok.

i've been distracted these days. spending time with my loved one during the holidays. but i guess it's coming to an end, and i should pick things up a little and get down and dirty to learn some stuff. i'm talking about picking up .Net of course. what else? everyone else can think what they like... but i'm me. yes i could have done better in many areas in anyone else's perspective. but i'm in my own shoes for now. till i'm dead.

*sorry i'm very unhappy, which probably explains the incessant bitching+ranting*
