Wow. It has been quite a while since I have been on here. Reading the last time I was on here, a lot has changed. At that time I had recently graduated, and I was still living in Texas and worrying about what I was going to do when my student loans kicked in. Luckily, I found a job and I am able to make my payments. I actually might be able to wipe out lots of credit card debt, a wedding loan and almost all of my $24,000 worth of student loans in two years. Woot woot! All it took was me moving to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for two years. It definitely isn't the worst thing ever, but I can promise you that not everyone could do it. I moved here in January of this year and I am here until January of 2013.
I originally moved here as the front desk supervisor at the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites, but I was recently promoted to the Quality Control/Training manager. I have a LOT on my plate doing that. We temporarily promoted my front desk lead clerk as the front desk supervisor, but she leaves in mid-October, so when that happens, I will have to be the QC/Training manager and go back to being the acting supervisor. Hopefully, the new supervisor can be hired soon, because it is hard to do two jobs at once, especially since my hands will be full with the training program.
And as I mentioned, I am married now. Right now I am an irritated married woman. I am here and my husband is deployed. He will be back early next year and we will see each other then, for the first time since about two weeks after we were married (we were married April 29th, we saw each other May 13th). However, I am entitled two trips off island per year, and I used one for the wedding, and if I don't use another one, I lose it. So I'm going to Washington DC in October to visit my best friends. He says it doesn't bother him, but it totally does. I know he is worried about me having enough paid leave for us to see each other for all three of my trips next year. I totally will. And even if I don't, it would be my choice to come back to the states on leave without pay. Anyway. I am beyond annoyed, because he is saying he isn't bothered but he is. And I understand that he is deployed and that sucks but he doesn't need to begrudge me the ability to come back to the states (AKA the real world, a place that has more than two restaurants, real Starbucks, bookstores and cupcakeries). Also, he shouldn't begrudge the fact that there are all kinds of people who miss and love me in the states. Obviously that does not mean I don't miss or love him, but I wouldn't be able to see him until January anyway, so me going now takes nothing away from us later. My point is, I know you are deployed, I know it is hard since we can't skype, and I know work and everything is hard for you now,b ut it doesn't mean you get to be a dick to me.
Arrg. That's all for now.
