AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I'm so annoyed and frustrated right now!
Good news: DBF's sailing schedule got changed at the last minute. He was supposed to leave tomorrow for five weeks, but due to some unforseen preparation issues they have been held back for about a month. He'll still have to go away, but not for quite as long and not until the end of July now. (So he'll be away for August instead of July). Technically we still miss out on part of the Summer together, but that can't be avoided so I'm happy just to have him home now.
Bad news: This weekend should be a long weekend, right? Canada Day is on Tuesday, so you would think that most government agencies would be taking Monday off as well, right? mhmmmmm. So I get all excited that "holy shit, Arron and I might actually get like a four day weekend together!!! this never happens!" Yup, but nope. Leave it to the freaking Navy to decide that they have to work on Monday. Booooooo. So no one can make any special plans for the weekend because they just have to come back to work for one day in the middle of it. Stupid.
I'm especially annoyed because my job was totally willing to help me out and give me the two days off (and I'm not even supposed to get Canadian holidays), but that nice gesture goes to waste because I can't even take them up on it.
Sure, he could book an annual vacation day, but then that can bugger up any future time off he wants for trips to see his son, so again I get burned. Well, not me...but us. It's always "our" stuff that gets the shitty end of the stick.
You would think since they just screwed them all out of any Summer plans they had already made (ie: because they were supposed to be home in August but now they won't be) that they might step up and give them a long weekend to spend with their families....but, noooooooooo.
Today I hate the stupid military.
(and to top it all off, we decided we might still go camping anyway, but stupid Nova Scotia provincial parks have a no booze rule until July 1st anyway. Boooo. Who camps without some drinkies? Someone just doesn't want us to have a little getaway....)

I have to work monday too so misery loves company...
And why is it ok to drink after july 1st and not before? That's just weird..
That sucks you don't get the long weekend together. And I had no idea about the no booze rule . . .weird.
BRUTAL! How can you camp without drinking???
We have Tuesday only...I am KIND of looking forward to it but only because I am camping NEXT weekend...
I know we all normally only have Tuesday...but I figured because A) he's government and B) they just got screwed on their sail that they would give them Monday. But noooooo!
And ya, I dunno about the July 1st rule. Odd.
That's crappy that your weekend can't be accommodated. You would think there would be a little more slack given they mess up everyone's plans last minute all the time. Shitty.
I had no idea about the no booze rule. That's really stupid. Fire bans I can understand for good reason. But this is also the province who JUST got sunday shopping and holy crap the hoop-la that went along with that was priceless.
