Another Day in Life

There I stand. Day after day. Upon the mighty tower of steel, looking out over the sand and razor wire. I look down upon the translucent yellow that stand upon the ground before me. They stare at me with the kind of disdain an angry child stares at their parents. You yell at your child for bad grades and ground them, they hate you but still

One difference here: if your child gets bad grades and you yell at them, you still love them. They might get mad but they don't hate you and resent you every minute. These people are not your children - they're prisoners, and I hope you're able to mostly forget about them when you leave. It isn't a personal thing, it's a job.

But yes, congrats on being halfway done. Keep going babe! You'll be fine. And thank bob it's not a 15 month tour...
