The Adventures of Molly Murphy

This blog chronicles my move from the idyllic west to a base in Texas, and eventually, to central Germany where I am living and soaking up all of the techno I can handle.

Hey, Molly Murphy, I gotta question for ya!

So, there are some perils of working on a base with approximately 4,000 people, most of whom know just enough German to be dangerous. Oh, I should also mention that what I'm about to share deals directly with the fact that I do, in fact, wear my last name stitched prominently on my uniform, just like everybody else, right? Okay, so that having being said, here's something that I just can't get enough of being asked these days: "Heyyyy, do you know what your last name means?" Or, alternatively, "So, you really ARE from the woods, heh heh heh! Do you get it?" Yes, I GET IT people! I DO know what my last name means! IT MEANS THAT I HAVE A RIDICULOUSLY EASY-TO-TRANLATE-FROM GERMAN LAST NAME! Can we move on, already? Please? Oh, good GRIEF!
