The interpreter's rotation should have been today, but it was postponed for a week with only four days' early warning. What followed was, as can be expected, a controlled chaos. After all, this is Afghanistan. PO Aybak ended up with just one IP for almost three days, but now it seems that the IP situation will be just bearable in the near future. I didn't go out on patrol today. The rest were out, but I had arranged a couple of meetings at the safe house. I wrote reports on my meetings, and had personal evaluation conversations with colleagues. I don't know how it happened, but when I laid down on my bed in the afternoon just to take a break, I fell asleep, and didn't wake up until a full hour had passed. What's even more strange is that no-one wanted anything from me during that hour, or that either one of my two phones did not ring. It was a well needed and deserved rest.
It was poker night once again. I would have not joined the game, but perhaps a moment in the gym would have done me good - had I had the time.
