Toilet Paper Shenanigans

So my pass was great, but I was ready to come back to Mosul and get back to work… I had a couple of long days of travel, including a broken airplane, sleeping in an airport, and eating crappy, crappy food… so, needless to say, I was ready to go to bed when I arrived at my CHU around midnight.

I was greeted by glow sticks taped to my door surrounding a little note welcoming me home… ok, what did they do to my room?  See previously we had covered my team leaders room in tiny leaflets.  We had shoved them everywhere!!  And another team members room was filled with balloons… so what did they do to mine?  I knew I wasn’t going to be happy about…

Out of her room comes Jessica, camera in hand, waiting to get my reaction to it all.  Not a good sign.  I open my door and am greeted by a wall of TP, and my collection of PT (reflective) belts.

"Man, I hate you guys..."

My room was covered!!  There were things taped to the walls, the ceiling.  TP covered almost every inch possible.  Even the turtle was taped to the ceiling! It was outrageous!  I was soooo mad… cursing, pulling stuff down, trying to find all the TP.

Get me down from here!!

I finally started to laugh about it after reading all the silly notes they left taped to my walls.  And I really couldn’t be mad… I had helped on the previous room pranks.  I am still, days later, finding bits of TP all over my room…
