so I found out today that my per diem hasn't been paid out because THE STUPID PAPERWORK SAID I'M A CIVILIAN AND NOT A SPECIALIST
and no one noticed.
except the DFAS people, who did not tell anyone.
Christmas is going to be a week late for everyone this year, I'm assuming.
holding off on the iphone 5 because....eh, I don't need it. I want it really bad but I don't need it.
that's what my birthday is for.
I'd rather use that money on super awesome presents for everyone.
