We are so Shafted
Fuck......fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck......Sometimes my landlord pisses me off. The only time he comes to talk to us is when he has money issues, but not when WE owe a shitload of it.
Housing called David and told him that if we don't pay off our rent by Saturday (all 2200 euros [at least $3000 american] and yes they mean this Saturday coming) they're going to have to get his command involved....for those of you not familiar with military procedures: That's bad....like "Fuck me sideways" bad. So now we have to take out at least a $3,000 loan just to pay it off, and that's hoping the Euro doesn't go up any more than it has.
Cause if that isn't enough we're gonna have to take the difference out of our checking directly, and depending on how much we have to take out, we may not even have enough money left over for essentials (like...oh, say....FOOD)
And people wonder why we don't put more money in our savings...Cause we can't fucking AFFORD TO! Yes, the military does give us enough money to pay our rent each month, but they give us the minimum amount that it equals in dollars, and only once each month, not every check.
I also don't like the attitude that the woman from housing was giving David, either. He was trying to get off the phone so he could call me and let me know, and she gets all suspicious and tells him, "If you don't call me back by 1600 (4pm), we're going to get your command involved today." Mean Person.......
Me and David figure once we pay off this, we can try to pay off June once we get paid, and not even worry about July since we're getting out anyway. Just the thing to reinforce my dislike for living overseas and the Navy. I have no problem with any other branches of the military whatsoever, because I know that they treat their people a shitload better than the Navy does. Hell, it may not even be the whole navy, it may just be how the commands in Italy are run, I don't know, I just know I don't like it.
In other news the baby's fine, cats are fine, weather's still a little cool over here, and I still want to go to the beach, cause I tried on my new bathing suit (finally) and it looks really cute on me.
Oh, and more bad new (Cause I know you guys love the drama) I talked to a friend of mine, and she said that MAC flights (military planes and stuff) will NOT allow a pregnant woman fly on their planes if she's along 6 months or more. How effed up is that?? I'll be 7 when we fly back. And crap on anyone who says it may effect the baby, I flew for 2 weeks almost every other day when I first found out i was pregnant, not to mention when we flew back to the states, and I felt FINE. THe baby wasn't even upset except when we landed, but that was because I hate landings. I'll probably have to get my doctor to sign a note or something before we leave saying I'm good to fly. I have a few more appointments before that happenes, so I'll be able to check with him about it, and confirm it with the airport to make sure.
And I'm keeping my cat. She won't go into the baby's room at all, until a few years, but I'm not getting rid of her because I plan on breastfeeding, and human milk protects the baby against viruses, infections AND allergies. So hah there! Okay, I'm tired, Luke/Victoria is wearing me out. Love to all. Bai
