Oh hai
I’m still here, despite my complete lack of interesting shit to post.
So here’s a brief update about what I have been up to lately:
Nothing.
Seriously!
It seems I go days and days without accomplishing anything except changing diapers and shoveling food into the hungry mouths of my babies. Imagine a nest of gaping-mouthed baby chicks, peeping incessantly.
I got a new vacuum cleaner, and it sucks. I’m so happy I could cry. I might actually make it through April without sneezing myself into a coma.
Lazybones should be finally getting his long-overdue promotion around the time I have my birthday. By “long-overdue”, I mean the promotion he was supposed to get around the time we got married. The trouble is, if you’re unobtrusive and just do your job, sometimes they forget you’re there. Y’all may not believe me, but the best way to get promoted in the Army is to get a DUI, or get busted for adultery. I’ve also heard that sexual harassment and domestic violence can help too. Since my handsome life-partner only drinks at home, fears castration, is polite and never punches me unless I request it, he’s been quietly getting screwed by the Army for the past 3 1/2 years. Not that I’m bitter or anything. He sure as fuck doesn’t seem bothered by it, which only makes me more enraged. I threaten to go back on active duty just to get promoted over him sometimes. Maybe then he’d listen.
Bah, anyway.
I am increasingly annoyed by the news, and ignore it as best I can. If I sat here and started posting about all the shit I think is wrong with the nation/world/people in general, my fingers would be bleeding stumps before I got halfway done.
Anyway, this post is ending now, because it really was just a way for me to pass a few minutes while I drank my coffee and took a break from cleaning. Now I need to text my boy-toy and make sure he remembers to bring home a huge vat of laundry detergent when he gets off shift. And flower seeds, and a pizza, and beer. I feel like getting wasted tonight.

Well, it looks like the Army’s promotion system hasn’t changed much since I got out in ‘90. Gotta love the Green Machine.

Bawahahahahaha!!!
Hopefully, the promotion comes through. It’s insane that it has taken this long.

Holy shit that was funny in an lunatic asylum kind of way. I totally know how you feel. I’m doing nothing at a high speed. My promotion status is not much better and I’m bored out of my skull.
It’s like a Mad Lib. I could substitute Fire Department for Army and it would make total sense to me. Don’t sweat it kiddo. Enjoy the time with your babies. It’s the most special time of your life. By the time they are eight & ten they won’t even need you anymore. LOL!
Have a drink on me!
