I just need a minute to vent!

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....)

Lt(N) Honey!

Finally. After much waiting and anticipation, my honey finally received his promotion today!

He is now Lieutenant Honey!!

Congratulations Sweetie. It's been a long time coming, and you deserve it!

Proud GF

Today my honey passed an important test at work, and after a long wait is elligible for promotion. Of course, in typical military style, they've decided to do his promotion for Monday...and he leaves on vacation tomorrow...makes no sense! But it's still a BIG DEAL and I'm very proud of him!! Lieutenant DBF!! :)

And now for the cheesy photo I found on Google:
