Our Silly Government

Did you know our silly government uses lots of long complicated, often times hard to pronounce and remember words? To help their employees remember all these crazy words and phrases, they use acronyms. Acronyms are big in the government. They use them constantly on a daily basis...it's how they get through life.

I know you're thinking, thanks for the info, who cares....I have a point, really.

This morning I got a call from a weird number...it was an acronym for something I'm sure because the lettering didn't make sense. Good thing I decided to answer the phone. It was a woman from Ft. Dix...they are the lovely base who's folks who are getting our move together. The woman on the other end of the phone spoke really fast. She didn't identify herself. And kept speaking in tongues. (acronyms) I probably said "huh" or "what" a few hundred times to try to understand who this was and what the hell she were talking about. The conversation started by asking for hubby, whom I said wasn't in, so you would think they would slow down and speak English for those of us NOT employed by the federal government. I finally figured out, oh this about the move....and got a final answer on when we can be out of here.

The 20th is our final move date.

We are supposed to be out by the 15th.

You understand the pickle we're in here, right?

The new owners are very nice people, and the one thing we have working for us, is he's a military man. So I know he understands the game here. United States government has LOTS of red tape...and they move at their own pace.

Need something done now? Tough crap, it ain't happenin.

So pray that he and his wife will allow us to stay here a few extra days so we can successfully get out of here, out of their hair, and be on our merry way.
