Just a little mini-rant to get it out of my system
Tomorrow is Manuel's birthday. I called up the other guy in the office to ask what time they'd have to be in and of course it was 6am. Its 7:38 right now, and he's not home yet. He probably won't be til 10pm. This is already shaping up to be a GREAT birthday. Really.
And honestly, I know its no big deal and really Manuel couldn't care less whether it was his birthday or not, its just frustrating that he even got a letter from the CO saying he could have the day off but he doesn't dare ask the NCOIC about it because he knows he'll get his ass chewed out for being lazy *sigh*
So tomorrow morning around 8am (right after Jacob gets dropped off at daycare) I'm going to take in brownies (in lieu of a cake) and his birthday present (which he doesn't know he's getting since he thinks he's only getting an xbox 360) and his cards from me and the kids (those I'll just have to tell him I'll give him later that night or come up with some other sorta crap)
But yes, I'm frustrated. Yes, I'm stressed (between a toddler, a newborn, and a full college course load who wouldn't be?) and yes, I'm so so sick of being here. They can officially fire Manuel on the first, but now he's actually gotten two appointments tonight. He wants them to go well, and I feel horrible for hoping they'll go badly. But I figure the more guys he enlists the longer we'll be here. Ah well, it'll all work out in the end.
Rant over for now.
