My co-workers are totally not believing that I made my way in today under sniper fire |
|
Maybe I should have been more consistent and established that on day one

3. I'm sure you just misremembered your commute to work today. |
|
After all, who can remember EXACTLY what one was doing a few hours ago?

6. Hey, I can see why they did not believe you.... |
|
...if you did not include the part on how you had to sit on your flak jacket during your drive and and that you did stop on the way to safety to hear an 8-year-old read a poem to you.
It's the details that are lacking in what you told your co-workers that leave your story without real depth. If this had really, really happened to you, those details of this harrowing event would have just fucking flowed!
LOL...:hi:

8. Well, you COULD have been under sniper fire |

9. Dude, I took heavy fire on my way into work this morning |
|
I had to dive behind a barricade and fire off a couple grenade rounds from my M1A1 SOPMOD.
Then I had to somehow find a rifle and pick off the snipers in the surrounding buildings.
WHY DOESN'T ANYONE BELIEVE ME

10. Did you stop for hugs and a poetry reading while this was going on? |
|
And, someone took pics/videos of you doing that?
Could that be the problem? Or was it that you willing took your teenage child with you into this combat zone?
:shrug:

17. I'm only 22--will be 23 April 11. |
|
Having a teenage child would be one hell of an accomplishment--and a dubious one at that.

16. Who cares about your co-workers? |
|
You can't let the little people get in the way of things that really, really matter. Throw them out the window and move on.
