I'm not usually the type to do this, count my chickens before they have hatched and consider things a sure thing that is.
That said, I was so sure L would get promoted to SSgt and he'd formally be offered the job we're after....as it transpired he didn't get promoted. Being the suspicious person that I am - you say paranoid I maintain suspicious - I would have squinted my eyes and turned my suspicions toward his boss. That would make sense since L still has a pending complaint against him and so many people have mentioned how much he dislikes L (got to love men for gossiping, because you know it's only us women that like to partake of this idle pass time...) Yet, L wasn't the only one not to be promoted: no air crewmen were.
As per usual rumours and speculation are rife...this part of the military have had a falling out with this one (seriously, apparently PGCE students aren't the only ones who haven't learnt to share the red crayon!) and they don't want them on their camp doing this job...I swear I am surrounded by children! Worse, these so-called adultchildren are usually give the responsibility of a large weapon...and I don't mean their brains.
Scathing sarcasm aside I was certain L would be promoted and he would be offered that job, formally...so I've been guilty of counting my chickens before they've hatched *sigh* I'm really disappointed for him...not just because he's my husband and I think he deserves to be promoted, nor because the money would come in handy. No, actually I'm disappointed because he is has integrity and he is constantly being taken advantage of. L wasn't around when mother nature was giving out the ability to spot machiavellian individuals:he was most definitely still at the back playing with the Lego (he loves Lego), which thus means he has zero ability to spot conniving, manipulating and devious individuals who only work to their own agenda. Zero.
I know nothing has been 'officially' decided in terms of postings and jobs etc, but I hesitate to be confident again, my instincts just won't let me.
