Lets see, what's been happening? Last week I destroyed my shower by trying to clean it. I was rinsing everything with straight hot water from the shower and using the curtain rod for balance. The rod let go and sent me right into the hot water. Thankfully I got out and stripped fast enough that all I got was some very minor burns on my arm and back (already healed!). My leg is still bruised though because in the fall I smashed it on the side of the tub.
Wednesday we went to Science world to see the "Body Worlds 3" Exhibit. I enjoyed the exhibit it self, but I could have done without everything else that happened. First was being splashed from head to toe, swallowing a mouth full of road water, then having to wait in the freezing cold for the bus. Next was the endless amount of teenagers and their school projects. It was difficult to see anything with all of them crowded around. When we did get to see something it usually came along with some very immature jokes (reproductive organs was the worst). Third was the trip home. What is usually an hour and fifteen trip became a 2.5 hours.
I got lots of good news that night, however. My transfer to this army cadet corps was completed that day. Most transfers take months, but this corps wanted me so badly that it was pushed through and only took a month. Now they're pushing my promotion and my Commanding Officer was told by his boss that it will be in my hands within a few weeks! Plus it will be back dated to a time while I was still parading in Edmonton! Which means that I get a pay raise and back pay! It also means that DND (Department of National Defence for all you gamers) admits that everything 27 RCSCC Warrior did was wrong and things are now being corrected!
There are a few courses my new CO wants me to take and I can't wait. I already have Range safety officer for air rifles, but now he wants me to get "RSO small bore" (.22 Rifle.) and "Abseil / Basic Rock Climbing Instructor Course". Other courses I want are "Canoe Instructor" and "Cold Weather Instructor Course" but that will be next winter. This will be a busy year.
