• Update # … does anyone actually care?

  Yeah, it’s been awhile.  Bite me.

  I’m still doing the training job.  Kinda sorta.  I got drafted into the brigade staff, which isn’t too bad, it’s actually a good thing for my resume, just kinda boring.  Looks like I’m going to be deployed again, sometime 2009, probably back to Iraq.  I’m pretty okay with it, I’ve been home for more than a year, and that was my condition.  It’s with an aviation unit, and I’d be doing my actual job *gasp*.  The Guard turned down my request to transfer to the Reserves, who would’ve guessed?  I kinda fucked up my planning; I was counting on being transferred so I could be mob’d, so didn’t put in an extension packet.  Doh.  Now I’m waaaaaay behind the power curve. *sigh*  I’m lucky they’re letting me put in a packet at all.  Arg.

  The boyfriend and I are doing well.  I’m all moved in and stuff, doing pretty well.  There’ve been a couple tiffs, but I’m pretty sure that’s normal.   Honestly, he scares me a bit when he gets angry (never at me), but I don’t respond well to anger, it tends to scare the hell out of me from anyone.  And he recognized he was freaking me out and reined it in, so I’m not worried.

  I’m going to get a new car.  My Saturn (Ion Coupe-2) is a Piece Of Shit!!  Parts are just falling off!  Falling the fuck off!!  So, the bf is going to touch up my paint, I’m going to get the interior detailed, and then I’m trading it in.  For a Mini Cooper.   Assuming I have a job in November.   I’ve got a couple back up plans in case my extension packet doesn’t go through – there’s a VA job I put in for that I haven’t been rejected from (yet); there’s an ADSW job doing the same thing I’m doing now that I could probably get; and a buddy is trying to get me another ADSW job as an OIC for a rear detachment.  I’m sure one of the four will come through, I’d just feel better if I actually knew.  :-p
