All in a day's work

As was pointed out to me by Kara, I haven't put anything up about my job yet, or much about Germany for that matter, so today I decided to take pics on my way to work. So now you can all see what my daily 20 min drive is like.

This is my street. My house is that first one on the left

This is the road I turn on to off of my street

This is my little town of Erlenbach

This is where I turn left

This is the little village of Otterberg that I drive through (not to be confused with Otterbach, which is in the other direction.

This is a traffic circle (aka roundabout). They LOVE these things over here. There are no such things as 4 way stops.

Some open space

On the A6 - or what you all know as the autobahn

Another traffic circle near base

I stopped taking pictures before I got to the gate cuz, well, people get suspicious when you start taking pictures of an AF Base gate.

This is the warehouse that I work in

This is inside the warehouse

This is the view from my office

This is a view of my desk from that chair in the pic above

As far as what I actually DO at work - Well...let me give you a rundown of my day today:
Got to work about 7:30. Tried to log on my computer but am logged out due to some security patch something-or-other. So I spent a good deal of time on the phone with 480-help, our computer tech people. They basically said I just have to wait for them to fix it.
I was supposed to have a meeting with the group commander at 10:30, but it has been rescheduled. Then I was supposed to have an intro/tour of the Airplane Parts Stores section of my flight this afternoon (we're in charge of supply and things like that), but found out something came up with another LT that was supposed to come with me, so I had to call and reschedule that. Then I went to lunch at the British cafe with the other LTs in my squadron, and a few from finance that we normally eat with. Then I went back to my office. Still not able to log on to my computer. So I went over to finance to try and get my travel voucher filled out. After waiting an hour I found out that I have to get an actual scheduled appointment for that. So I set that up, then went back to my office. There, still not able to get on the computer, I wrote a letter to my nephew, Justin. Which, having become quite bored at this point, turned into this:

I don't know how well you can read them. But these are, in fact, stick figure adventure drawings of James the desk guy, based on my almost true daily events, with slightly dramatic endings.
Yes, this is what the AF is paying me to do.

After this I went and dropped of a paper at MPF (the personell people), went and bought groceries, and came home.

So what do I do at work all day? Not a thing. Every once in awhile I tag along to a meeting, or go get a tour of a section in my flight. But that takes up 1, maybe 2 hours a day.

The thing is, having not been to tech school, they can't really put me in charge of anything yet.

So that's that.
