Runs Batted In

So hero has me write an RBI (essay) for joking around and playing corporal for a night. I tried to write it, but the motivation just wasn't there & it was Halloween weekend. So I asked for more time Monday morning, about 6.5 hours before it was due. My team leader called me back and said that I could either have an hour and twenty minutes more, or come in when it was due and write it 'til it was finished. I had worked Sunday night. It was 0842 when he told me this. I went to bed, woke up at 1115 with about 2.5 hours of sleep and went in to write my essay. When I got there he said I had to write until my PSG left for the day and if it still wasn't finished, be back in the office writing when hero came back for weapons draw at 2015. So I wrote for 8 hours straight, from a little bit before twelve, to about 2005. I stepped outside to put a dip in and he was pulling up for work, just as he had said. He came up, made me sit there while he read it and told me I had to rewrite it. Now, it's 2030ish on Monday night and I had been up since about 1500 on Sunday with the exception of the 2.5 hour nap I had in the early morning. So he asks me if I have any questions. "Yeah, when to I get to sleep and take a shower?" He said, "Were you not given the time to take care of those things?" Now, in my eyes I was, but in his eyes. . . well. So he told me to go over to battalion staff duty and write it until it was finished. I told him I wanted to talk to the PSG, thinking that he would be a bit more reasonable and hero said he would call him and have him call me. So I headed over to battalion and started writing. He came over and told me that I had to write 'til 0000 or until it was finished, which ever came first and if it wasn't finished by midnight, then it was due by 1900 the next day. So I wrote 'til midnight which is when he showed up & restated the requirements. I left and FINALLY showered and slept after not doing either for 32 hours, with the exception of a 2.5 hour nap that morning. I finished handwriting the next day around 1200, called him to let him know & he had me turn it in to the PSG. When I handed it in the PSG asked, "Is this going to piss him off again?". And I said no. I wish I could post 'em on here, but unfortunately I am not smart enough to make copies.
