Half a Dozen of the Other
Bad news: Didn't get selected for promotion. I cried for 30 minutes after I found out.

Good news: Dave was here to cheer me up. And I graduated this morning so I am now an Education and Training Manager in the USAF. And we're leaving to go home tomorrow morning.

Mean mom lady. You can't put in a super awesome pond and not expect the children to want to move back in.

She really is doing a sub par job of making you not want to live at home.

she seems shocked when I'm over there now like 'Didn't we just see you, Gretchen?'

I just roll my eyes at her.

Tell her that if she buys you your own 360 then you wouldn't be over so much.

I actually paid for like 3/5th of the 360, Betsy paid for the other 2/5ths, so it's super unfair that it's all the way across town.

(my life, so hard dude)

I am so sorry ::hugs you:: Those people don't realize what they're missing by not promoting you forward. It sucks. ::hands you a great big Cosmo::

I'm looking at the positive side. I've got two more years of just taking the one test instead of both. I figure I'll actually study those two times and maybe I'll have a better shot.

And that's why I think the USAF promotion system is flawed.

It was frustrating. But I'm not going to dwell on it. It won't do me any good.
