Hello everybody! Things here in Iraq are going pretty well. It's still very hot, and I still don't get enough to eat, but at least I get to work in an air-conditioned office! As you know from a couple of messages ago, I've been assigned to work on the brigade staff. I work with my friend, CPT Simer, in the plans office.

Here's another picture of me working in the plans office.

The Brigade S5, MAJ Kastberg, has given me a new mission: keeping an eye on CPT Simer. I sit on his desk watching him type powerpoint slides - he does that all day long. Just typing and clicking. It's really boring. My job is to watch him, and whenever he stops typing or clicking, I whack him in the head with my paw (you can see that I have my paw raised in this picture - when it was taken, I could see CPT Simer was slowing down).

I can't say it's the most glamorous job, but at least I get to stay in the air conditioning.

After a few hours of this, CPT Simer bribed me to give him a break for a while.

What can I say - he knows my weakness. It was only a short break, though - I'm sure MAJ Kastberg wouldn't mind if he found out.

Oops, I gotta go. CPT Simer just stopped typing again.
