Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So if the last journal wasn't emo enough, I now have more.

- I have random ants in random places.
I had absolutely no food when they showed up and when I did have food they completely ignored it. Weirdest places they've shown up? In my bedsheets, and inside my closed laptop. Wtf.
- I STILL have that cold.
- The girl I was going to have sex with that I mentioned in my last entry? Yeah, she led me on and is a total cocktease. There's more to it than that, but rest assured it's summarized pretty well by her leading me on, never intending for a 'fling' and me only being able to think with my d**k, apparently.
- My ID stopped working at the galley and the galley staff won't let me eat there anymore. Good think I'm leaving soon, I guess.
- I was supposed to leave wednesday(today). On tuesday I didn't have my plane ticket and went to Chief to figure out wtf is going on. He says I leave thursday(tomorrow) now. I still don't have my plane ticket.
- I both called and showed up at Chief's to figure out about this new plane ticket problem and he of course never called me back and expertly avoided my meeting him. I am now more confused than ever at what I'm supposed to be doing now. FML.
- I, somehow, forgot to pay my cellphone bill last month. When I got the reminder to pay it this month, not only did I have to pay this month, plus last month, but also late fees... My bill was $300.
- My brita filter is leaking so now I have random stillwater in my refridgerator.
- I am packing all my s**t, and I have JUST ENOUGH crap that warrants me getting a new bag... That will be mostly empty. FML.
- My macbook is overheating while hibernating. Good thing I bought a new laptop, I guess.
- Said new laptop is sitting at my parents house. In Georgia. I'm going to New York for leave.
- I only have 12 leave days. I needed 14.


And now for the mother of it all....

I emailed the Essex (the ship I'm supposed to go on in Japan). My Division Officer emailed me back with mostly news I was expecting, except THIS GEM:


So, not only will this probably be my most challenging tour (AND my first tour), but if I wasn't getting cold enough feet, now I'll be working above my paygrade.
I can hardly manage watching a damn phone, BELOW my paygrade, I highly doubt I'll be able to lead anyone.

Someone please kill me.
The more I learn about my duty station the more I think I AM NOT READY.


Oh, and to top it all off, I have to live on the ship (which I was expecting) FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR before I'm allowed to even APPLY for housing.
gonk
I realized I was going to be living on board, but I guess the length of time that implied escaped me until now.
