Now that Annual Training (AT) is over, I can get back to what feels like my life. I when into the office today, I made it a half-day since my military mind is still running, and I'm finding it hard to step back into the other kind of service (customer service, that is). I had over 400 emails to get through, and while I was out, they set up an interview for the editing job (while I was gone, grr). I emailed back, so I hope since the decision hasn't been made, that I can get interviewed.
I think that I am going to go on the deployment next year even without a promotion. It gets money into my accounts and gets good benefits for the kids. I want the promotion, I truly do, but I also need to get things set up for making more of/for myself. Taking care of the kids is worth more than just getting more toys for myself and it's about time to find a place to have my own home.
During AT, I found out that I hate my phone, the battery life sucks and it won't make it through a day. Also, I get tried of my browser loading Google versions of websites when I type the direct address in the url bar. grr. The Windows Phone 7 phone I have (HD7) doesn't do what I want it to do, so I didn't do more than look at some new sets and make brief comments while I was in Yakima these last few weeks. I have so many more sets to catch up on since getting back.
I won't get to go to Paris for my birthday as I wanted to, too much has to come out of my AT checks. I still vow to see France before I'm 40. I might include that with the over craziness I want to do when I get back from deployment.
Everyone at work has been asking me if I'm going to stay on with Instant Videos, instead of returning to Wireless. I laugh because I am rolling back should I not get the editing internship when the assignment for Video ends. I like the hours better and I feel more confident in talking about that part of the 'Zon more than any other right now.
I feel that I should get started on my other projects as well as get some semblance of order in my life before heading off to the sand-box again.
Bonne chance.
