whimper

[piplover]

Yesterday, just before we got off work, all E-4s were informed that we had a pt test this morning. Urgh. So not only do I fail the pt test, but I fail it spectacularly. As in, Oh-my-Gods-what-have-you-done-to-my-body-I-want-it-back!
Not to mention that my grader was a real pain in the ass, and even though I did about 25 pushups, he only counted 6. 6!!!! I have never failed the pushups! I finally gave up, since he wasn't going to give me a break and actually count any of them.
Then I failed the situps, again, which just pissed me off, because I have been working on them for about a month.
And to top it all off, I failed my tape. Which means they are probably going to kick me out of the Army, see ya, don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I am miserable, sore, and just want to crawl into bed and forget this whole day happened.
And I still have to go to work.
Meh.

I'm using my koi icon to wish you strength and endurance.

I was once involved in validating physical tests for firefighting recruits. It was pretty brutal stuff but one of the things they were looking at was how to fairly measure the fitness demanded by the job without unfairly keeping women out. I don't know how fair or not your army tests are but I hope they don't kick you out when you could do a bangup job in some position that doesn't require the ability to do 30 pushups.

Eek! Sounds liek an all-round crappy day! I hope things sort themselves out though, and I hope that hobbits come to pamper you :)

Thanks, sweety. I understand the need to be fit and healthy, but the fact that I was doing the pushups and he didn't count them really pissed me off. Oh, well.
By the way, I did 6 miles on the rowing machine yesterday, and let me tell you, you are my new hero. I have no idea how you did that for 24 hours. Wow.

Thanks!
I wish Pippin were here now to make me smile. It's been a hard day.

Big Hugs!

I've been meaning to ask. Is that you in the picture? You sure don't look like you would fail the tape test. I'm glad I don't have anyone measuring me.

If I could send Pippin over, believe me, I would after I'd had my way with him

That does not sound like a good day at all! I hope things are better today though.

Awe sweety. I can't think of anything to say except I hope it all goes well, what ever happens.

Your grader sounds like an evil son of a b****, just let it slide, don't waste your time on him. As long as you try your hardest that's all anyone can ever ask, it's all about effort at the end of the day.

Yep, that's me. And thanks. Some days I look in the mirror and go, "Urg!" It's nice to hear someone say something other than I am fat.

Thanks. So far things are all right. Probably because I've spent most of the day hiding in my room. Who said burrying your head in the sand was a bad idea?

Thanks! I did do my best, even if they don't believe me. All I can do now is see what they are going to do with me.
HUGS
