Work Update
Today has been... interesting. I’m back on Training Duty status, which is good because it means things are calming down and going back to normal, but its bad because normal around here sucks bawls and this means I won’t get to see John or my own bed as much again.
They also took my school away *sigh* they put an admin hold on my school to see if I can handle being back on duty, and if I can and if BMC remembers, they will take the hold off in time for me to go to school in September, which also means I will be spending the last month here with out Minor as he got orders to MK school in August too… and that sucks a surprising lot.
I also did a lot of math today and found that if I get to go to school in September then I only have 35 days left of actual work and training (not to bad really) but with that I also have 151 boat crew tasks that need to be signed off, and after doing much math I have found that if I do 3-4 tasks in one work/training day then I will be boat crew qualified right before I leave *cough* yeah right *cough* not to mention the additional calculations stating that only 45 of the tasks are with in my control to complete and the other 106 are up to the coxen, and that is not including the fact that the 30 is still in Grand Marais and we never use the 25 because the reservists put all of their hours on it.
BUT!... I need to show initiative and progress in order to get the admin hold off of me, so though I know I will never make it all the way to a boat crew board, I will get as much signed off as I can as soon as I can, which means not learning things as well as I want to but as well as they take it from the people who half ass everything *flinch* its not going to be easy lowering my standards that much but *deep breath* I think I can handle it… maybe…
And I am getting so very, very tired of all of these BMs telling me that everything in the Coast Guard is self taught when all of the ITs and ETs are telling me that they are actually trained and go to school for their qualifications… I know I should just ignore it but for some reason its really, really annoying me more and more every time I hear it.
In other news Baily had ear mites but he is all better now, they cleaned them out and put some nifty one time drops in his hears that will kill them all and he can shake them out or they will just fall out so woot for my kitty getting better. Also John has his real interview for the Job tomorrow so my fingers are crossed for that, I’m just so happy that things are going so fast and I really hope he gets this one, its full time and pays $8 an hour (the same I made at the hotel) which means he can pay off his debt and by me food at the same time! More wootness.
Religiously I’m feeling good… I’m still putting lots of really good ideas off, like using the beads everyday, working on my scrapbook altar, and working on the general study of things… but I’m still feeling good over all. And now I am off to an early bed… at work… alone… again… *sigh* I can’t wait for Wednesday.
Aftermath
It was dark… cold and dark, she could hear the rain pounding on the wood above her though the wind was not whistling nearly as loud as it had mere moments ago and the sounds of other, smaller scurrying animals and insects where slowly returning to the surrounding terrain. But the young fox did not move. Her neck stung where her mother’s teeth had sunk into it and her back ached from when she was dropped so suddenly onto the cold hard wood of the hollow log. But more then any of the physical discomfort was the still loneliness that had seeped slowly into her mind and sole. Surly… surly her mother would return to her, if she just waited the vixen would come back surly…
