Do you know nothing of my attention... Oh someone left a bouncy ball that lights up on my desk! YAY! :p

Good one!

So, they don't have a permanent position for me at work - but they're going to promote me anyway. Not for another three months (or more), but still....

Promote you to another year? Well, promotion is good :)

So... I went out with my neighbor. The Boy sat for her kid. He wasn't upset that they were out late, he was upset that mommy was having fun.

The promotion is just a grade change, with accompanying extremely slight salary boost. I will, when it is over, be a GS12, which is the top level of grunt workers. It's also where most people stop progressing because the lead and management positions are unofficially reserved for retired service members coming back as civilian employees.

I know a GS12 that is a lead, but maybe that's just here at Hill?? And I don't know much more about her progression in her unit.

Golf is a sport where as a professional you're pretty good if you just win a few tournaments a year. I wish I were so good at that sport that when the headlines will be about how horribly I played that it means I just came in fourth.

I'm willing to sleep with Perkins Restaurant waitresses if that's what it takes.
