Starting to Feel Like Christmas
Dec. 11th, 2004 10:44 pmFeeling much better, up to about 90 percent and no longer miserable.
I have been giftwrapping for charity this week, for a grand total of twenty-plus hours, and many satisfied customers. My most entertaining thing to wrap: golf clubs.
I'm also doing my giftwrapping, as I would like to ship stuff on Tuesday or Wednesday. Much must go out, although I am saving some "local" stuff to wrap later. I like it, what can I say?
This week is going to be busy. Helping with the battalion holiday party for kids on Wednesday, and going to the ball on Friday. Brian will be here with me in just 11 days, so I am a happy little elf.
However, my Army charlie-foxtrot for the week is the fact that according to the schools system in the computers, I am supposed to be in the 96B class that started on Thursday. Pity they didn't tell anyone else. We're trying to find out WTF the problem is, and get it *fixed*. Maybe this is why no one has said anything about a class date for me, they already gave it to someone.
I also still have not been paid the 243.00 they owe me for back FLPP (foreign language proficiency pay) for terminating it when my test was valid due to paperwork issues. Corporals need their money, what can I say?
In unexpected news, my grandfather sent me a late wedding gift. A large late wedding gift. A check for far more dollars than expected. I was quite surprised, as my grandfather is not so good, anymore, at keeping his promises. Brain damage inflicted by fifty years of hard drinking will do that to a person. I had to sit down when I opened the card. It reminded me of being a little girl, when he was good at keeping his promises, and spoiling his granddaughter.
Completed a train-the-trainer course, so now I have a nifty new chain to wear at work. And a whole promotion point.
