Goodbye's are the worst

My last day is starting and I have that ache. It's the one like when you were little and you get called to the principal's office and your walking down the lonely hallway wondering what will happen. I report tomorrow but don't ship out until the 7th. So the next few days are for last minute unit things before we go to NC. I'm wondering if we're flying or taking the bus. I've been playing 'puter games to keep my mind occupied or else I'd just be focused on the deployment.

Yesterday my brother left to go back to basic training, he was on Christmas break. I probably won't see him for a few years, I know he will have a deployment and I just hope it's to somewhere like Germany or South Korea. Him and his girlfriend came over New Years to watch the Giants beat the Raiders (I get to miss the playoffs...yay) and to watch the ball drop. It was pleasant just to have him over and I'm going to miss him. Another on my list of goodbyes that I've said to coworkers, former coworkers, friends and family. I hate goodbyes.
