100 Days!

100 days and counting. 100 days until I’m home for good! Tomorrow, I begin the double-digit countdown to “operation exodus.”

This evening I went to the movies. I saw “Talledaga Nights” with Will Farrell. Good movie with a lot of laughs. I was very refreshing after the bomb “Anchor Man” Farrell put out a couple years ago.

Looks like a quiet weekend ahead. I’ve got to go into work for a few hours tomorrow, but other than that, not much is planned. This weekend is the Korean Thanksgiving holiday of Chusok and I certainly don’t want to venture out onto the highways.

I’ll be going to bed soon, but will probably do a little reading first. Before that, I need to put in a call to the Met Opera Guild to speak to someone about my subscription. I subscribed to the “Opera News” magazine in July, but have yet to receive a magazine. My first issue was supposed to be September, but it never came. I’m also supposed to receive a free CD with my subscription, but alas, I’ve received nothing. I’m not too excited about their customer service either. I called and left a couple messages on their voicemail, but no one returned my call. I phoned again this evening and the voicemail is full! I got another number to call from the operator, but they don’t come into work until about 9:30 a.m. EST (10.30 p.m. here in Korea).

Of course, it may not be the Opera Guild. I’ve been having problems lately with the postal service. I sent a package home on September 18 and it still hasn’t arrived. Fortunately, I insured it, but I can’t file a claim for 45 days. I also subscribe to the “Military History” magazine and have yet to receive my October issue! It’s frustrating to say the least!

Oh well, only 100 more days!!
