Quarterdeck madness

I dont remember where in my contract it said I would be a receptionist, but I guess it did somewhere. Today was my first quarterdeck watch by myself, which was interesting, pretty much all you do is answer the phones, take messages, and page people over the com system... One would think this is easy, but getting 3 phone calls at once, having a Master Cheif standing outside your window, and making a page over the com at one time is absolute chaos.. Enough of that though, im still alive.. Just another duty day in the life of a Coastie, nothing really new going on, I get late sleepers tomorrow because I have the midnight shift today(so thats cool), then tomorrow I have to go over to industrial and sand blast a bunch of things for our fantail project. Excting exciting.. I did however purchase my first gun, its a Glock 9mm.. A buddy of mine gave me a deal on it and its a niice gun. Now hopefully I wont be to worried about bears when im walking around out in the mountains. Well I suppose thats all for now, im just gonna finish up my watch out here till 330am and then pass out again. Untill next time.. take care
