Please enjoy this random video, it's probably one of my favorite Type O Negative songs, and really has nothing to do with anything- it is a cool song though- reminds me of a t-shirt I once saw- "I'm So Gothic I'm Dead". Guess they call them emos now. Oh well, whatever.
The work week ended on a good note, except for the chaos on the Hill. I'm not able to comment on it, on this or any other media, but guys, draw your own conclusions. Today I'll soon be on my merry way to a dental checkup- the Army is big on keeping us in fighting shape, including our teeth. Not that I expect to be in a situation when I'll have to use them as a weapon! That would be dire times indeed. There's not much on tap for this weekend, except getting ready to catch a flight on Monday morning. Tomorrow I have CQ duty until Sunday morning, which is fine with me. I took over the shift from a friend of mine, who's changing duty stations shortly, heading back to Fort Benning. His wife also recently had a baby too, so I was glad to take over the shift for him- clearly there are more pressing issues than making sure the barracks doesn't catch fire.
The main event on the radar lately has been the divorce. I went to see the judge yesterday, prepared for the worst and hoping for the best- the result was more towards the latter. The judge and my ex's attorney were there, and we had ourselves a little sit-down in the office. The attorney brought up a good point- that the divorce itself can be filed in Oklahoma, as I meet legal residency requirements for that state. However, child custody is outside that jurisdiction. It falls in under Connecticut state courts, so will require that the CT court handle it. The conclusion of this was, between the three of us, (my ex, the attorney, and myself) we can draw up a divorce decree for Oklahoma, file it there, and worry about child custody in Connecticut. That works for me! OF course, I'm going to go over that divorce decree with a fine-tooth comb-not that I don't trust either of them, but the cardinal rule of the Army is CYA, and I think that's a good principle to apply here. But it looks like things will move forwards on a pretty favorable pace. There aren't any bad guys, and there sure aren't any good guys- just us trying to work this out for the benefit of all. I guess Tabatha is right, she always says things happen because there was a lesson to be learned.
On a lighter note, I'm really looking forwards to getting away from the office for two weeks, and going back to CT, no doubt to freeze my rear off for a while. Hoping the time passes quickly!
