Kate’s Quests

This house should be in the middle of another stressful international move.  Instead we are waiting around for the military to get its act together.  Here’s the deal….there are three actors playing a part in this, (we’re the fourth and powerless actor) my husband’s current job (in Japan), the future job (in NC) and Bupers (basically the HR department).  We have orders to go to North Carolina in November, however, the current job says that we cannot go until Bupers has someone to relieve us.  And Bupers has known about our impending move for two years.  Someone dropped the ball and we’re stuck.  The people in North Carolina say that if we don’t get there by December we can’t come at all…the current job says we’re not leaving until we have a replacement and Bupers thinks they might have someone to relieve us in February.  Oh great.  We’re doing as much as we can to try to speed up the process, but who knows.  Everything is up in the air.  Don’t you just love bureacracies?
