Long Week

It was a really long week after I got back to Hattiesburg. I had to work half a day on Saturday as well as having to be at work at 0600 Sunday morning. Jennifer had all four of her wisdom teeth out on Thursday. She was hurting when I talked to her Friday morning. She was having problems trying to take the pain meds because they were upsetting her stomach. And as if that wasn't enough, she was ordered to go pick up the mail for her unit even though she was put on quarters by the doctor. Someone in her chain of command needs a serious kick in the head! RonJon went to MEPS on Saturday. He had his physical to try to join the Navy. Seems he needs to lay off the energy drinks. He passed everything else but failed for his blood pressure. The best one they got was 145/95. Needs to be under 140/90. So, this week, his recruiter will be taking him to medical for 5 days straight and if he gets good readings for 5 days signed by a physician, then he will get a waiver from MEPS and he can still join. If everything goes the way they hope, he could go back as early as next Saturday. I got some disturbing news yesterday. A friend who is over here on the same kind of orders as me got an order modification in the mail this week. No prior notice, no nothing. His orders were supposed to run until February. The just modified them to end on 14 Aug. That's kind of scary! Now, he doesn't even have enough time left to take the leave he has on the books. Makes you wonder if they are planning on doing this to anyone else (or everyone else) and if so, why haven't we heard anything about this sooner. Nothing like giving you time to plan!! Hopefully, I'll find out more about that this week. Well, I suppose I better get ready for work. I seem to be a little slow on motivation this morning since this is the 8th day in a row. Maybe I can scam a comp day one day this week.....
