31 Days!

How do you know when it is time to go? When the most magical things have become ordinary.

Count Down!

Thirty two more days until my return and our Norfolk HRO still has not produced a line of accounting so my orders can be written. Without these orders I cannot ship my car; I cannot have my household goods packed and shipped. What exactly do the lovelies at HRO think happens? Our stuff magically makes the trip across the Atlantic? POOF! We're here! I am trying not to get stressed and not to think about it because when I do I start getting so angry. I will be so glad come November 20th when I NEVER have to deal with those people again. They SCREWED UP my husband's pay beyond comprehension, leaving us owing the government over $6,000. They gave us rat travel (a free round trip because we extended) but because they did not know the rules and did it wrong, we now have to pay back over $4,000. I finally understand the jokes made about civil service employees. One cannot be fired without an "act of congress' so they are just moved from position to position that they are not qualified for leaving death and destruction in their wake. How do I know? I would happen to be one of them!
