95% sure I am going to make this next drill my last. I've been waiting around since June for a yay or nay on whether I will be able to reenlist. My ETS was 18 June.

Congratulations! I'm so envious!

Fingers crossed!

I have not heard back from the job I applied for, which is fine (silence is not rejection, in this case) but I am getting antsy about it.

I need to email Dr. Boison and ask him whether he will meet me and consider me for mentorship in his lab. Kinda thinking that maybe I can apply for a job under him and then apply for grad school next year.

My son just got his first job, training in setting tile. He starts Tuesday.

I can't believe my child has a job.

That job isn't a bad trade, but it is very hard on the knees.  Like really hard.  It's worth mentioning to him that wearing knee pads doesn't mean "running on your knees" won't cripple you in less than a few years.

Just my tradesman's professional granny approach, here.

I wish somebody had told me back in 2003 the only test I would ever need to study for would be a drug test to be a kroger starbucks barista.

He's apprenticing under Rude, who has been doing it for 30 years... he's got a lot of practical knowhow for preventing the crippling.

We have 3 printers in our office.  None are currently working.

At least one of those is serviceable as a printer, but because it's not a company printer, the IT department will not give us ink.  We could buy ink for it from our own stationary fund or the petty cash...only none of the staff are allowed to access it.

We've asked if we can have a new printer, instead of constantly repairing the old one, but we've been informed that the IT department cannot authorize the funds for a simple, B&W printer with photocopy/scanning capability, despite there being ones on Amazon for about £50.

This is the 23rd most expensive school in the UK's sixth form boarding department, with each student paying over £30,000 a year in tuition fees alone.

That place is a complete babyshambles.

It gets better.

Next shift comes on.  For 12 and a half hours, apparently twiddles their thumbs, because taking the initiative is, like, hard work or something.

We come back on duty.  We ask the other boarding house to print stuff off for us, and then when one of the day shift HPs, who is also the football coach, drops the students off there he can pick them up and bring them back here.

He goes there, no-one mentions the printing or gives him anything.

This is now the third day without working printers, and nothing will get done until at least Monday.
