Highlights: partial replay of Monday
I got an e-mail from Marine Corps finance that read something to the effect of:
“We regret to inform you that the travel voucher forms + Statement in Lieu of Receipt forms have changed slightly, and disbursing will no longer recognize or honor forms not in compliance. Thank-you & have a nice day.”
Uggghhhh! Are you kidding me? The new forms request the same material,,, just in a slightly different format. And instead of “see attached sheet” for the break-down in re-imbursable expenses, I have to fill in each and every item I am claiming as a re-imbursable expense in the tiny blocks of the formal travel claim (DD Form 1351-2).
Whew. Well, if you want to get paid anyways. Here we go! Another 8 hours or so of typing, printing, signing, scanning, saving, dragging & dropping onto my thumb drive, and preparing for another trek up to the embassy, tomorrow.
A creepy thing happened later this evening.
That stalker girl from a few months back has been hanging out in the street in front of the house,,, and tonight when I left to go check e-mail at an internet café, I ran into her.
This girl just doesn’t take a hint.
I am somewhat proud of myself for having never yelled at her, or uttered any of the ugly words that flew through my mind when I see her… especially after her attempts to track-down Nina and break us up. She also reportedly asked my maid for any un-washed clothes of mine while I was gone. (Eli fears she needed some possession of mine to bring to a dukun shaman/witch doctor & concoct a black-magic spell. “Guna guna” (black-magic) is taken seriously here in local Javanese beliefs). Anyways-
Considering that I can’t think of a positive thing to say to her or about her,, I kept quiet & simply walked past her. She chased after for about a km, screaming “you will come back to me someday!”,,, but she couldn’t keep up. And I figured I’d be best off not giving her any more ammo or excuses to think I’m the least bit interested in her (positively or negatively).
She creeps me out though.

O M G... seriously... just be careful, they really do use those dukun sometimes. My dad got one before, tho I'm a strong believer who thought that thing doesn't exist before.. but it does exist.
