Dreaming about work is one sign you’re too immersed in it. I dreamed last night that somehow, Iraqi claimants got a hold of my email address. Every time I would check my email, there would be a ton of messages from various Iraqi nationals, asking about the status of their claims, and pleading with me to give them money for their damage/loss/injury/death.

The irony: it’s because of my claims workload that I haven’t been able to check my email hardly at all in the past two weeks. There are also not too many Iraqi nationals that have Internet access, and even fewer that read and write English well enough to write me an email.

(I realize I just posted one of my email addresses on here, which I don’t often do. But Gmail handles spam so well, I figure it wouldn’t hurt just this once…)

Hey,

Son, you need to get out more, run, play ball, something. Work is good and good for you...up to a point.

Point being, if you can't sleep good, your too tense and too involved.

Sex...yea !! yes, you need more sex. Hummmm, thats a problem. I've got it. Dream about sex and more sex. Then when you wake up you will be refreshed and raring to go

Oh well, just a suggestion you understand.

Hang in and don't let too much hang out.

This is my post

I hope all is well with you and that you get a chance to relax a little. I don't think the Iraqis will be writing to you to often although there are quite a number of Iraqi blogs with quite good English. God bless you and thank you for your service.

Thanks for the comments!

Ray- yeah, the nearest chance I have for sex is several months (and over 6,000 miles) away. If I dream about it I might just wake up frustrated. :) I'll try cold showers, which isn't hard if the water heater's not working.

Pat- I've heard there are a lot of English-speaking Iraqi bloggers. I should check some out. Should be some interesting reading. Certainly more interesting than my drivel!
