*Good* news...

desertvixenFor all those who have enjoyed the vents of insanity resulting from my workdays, they shall be ending. This next four day set (Saturday through Tuesday) is my last set on the ops floor. I don't leave for my 96B class until the middle of May (going early so I can go home for a few days) and until then, I'll be working in the company as our Public Affairs person (translation: photographing unit events, nagging people to write their things for the unit paper, and probably serving as our new platoon sergeant's admin assistant. Unless I get moved into a new platoon. I have to go in and chat about that today.)
I'll be working Monday-Friday, PT at 0530, then working roughly 0830-1600 depending on the day. Of course, there's no federal holidays in between now and when I leave. :( So I won't be enjoying the traditional privelege of the day workers. It's going to be a busy job, but a) I'll have a little more free time to work on school, etc b) I'll be more likely to get award/recognition when I leave. And those, my friends, add up to promotion points. I went and added some yesterday, so as of 1 April I'll be 270 points away from maxing my score. They're predicting a drop in points, possibly this summer, so I might be able to get picked up while in school (one of the last ever Russian linguists to get promoted as a Russian, at the rate this thing is going). That would be *sweet*. Also, around end of April/beginning of May, I'll be able to add more civ ed points for my school work.
I'm happy, and cheerful, and must take uniforms to the cleaners to get made more presentable. The only drawback of being in the company is having more of a requirement to "look sharp".
