This is perimeter run 43.
I decided to force out a run tonight - work has been more fucking insane than I thought it was going to be, and there is some catharsis to be had in getting out of the large metal box and hitting the streets.
There's an awful lot of schadenfreude in my life lately; perhaps that's why I had New Model Army (a band not casually known for its mellow lyrics) on the mind tonight. It's an unusual mood for me to have NMA stuck in my head - usually I save those songs for truly black moods...and yet, I'm not sure why.
It is instructive to note that one of the visiting folks from our successor unit was asking rhetorically why my boss rated a PSD (personal security detachment). He was talking about how there's always some pissed-off looking Asian guy with a rifle and advanced infantry optics walking around at the low ready.
There are times that people look really uneasy; my level of basic aggression at work tends to make people uneasy - and the fact that I'm the only joker with optics on his bullet launcher compounds that. That...and the fact that last time I went to the range, and had target problems (it started moving around in the wind) I got a mite assed up...and got mostly head shots. That was downright motivational.
I need to go back out to the range and shoot man-sized targets again. It makes good catharsis.
