Done!
Well, it’s all official-like, for real now. Me and G are engaged, and my family knows about it. I wanted to kill one of my friends (briefly – I got over it quickly after talking to Dad). She told her dad, and her dad told mine. I got an email from Dad asking if there was something I wanted to tell him. Dammit. I really wanted to tell him in person at Thanksgiving. Oh well.
Of course, then Dad calls Mom five seconds after talking to me, so I don’t even get to tell her. Arg! People are killing my plans left and right! *sigh* Oh well…I still haven’t got orders for my new job. Getting a little impatient. I was supposed to start last Monday. I don’t know how long it’s going to take them to get off their asses and start doing the damned paperwork, so I filed for unemployment. It was surprisingly easy. I just went online, filled out a questionnaire, and wa-la! Done! I kind of expected more hassle… It took all of 10 minutes, if that. Kick ass. In case this job falls through – which is starting to seem like a reality – I’m putting in a packet for another full-time military job. It’d actually be better if I got this other job, because it’s a foothold into the AGR system, but I’m not counting on anything. The Guard is so political, they probably already know who’s getting the job, they just have to post it for forms sake, before they hire whoever they want to. Ahhh, the wonders of the Guard – politics over ability. (If that sounded bitter it’s because, well, I am).
later!
