NEVERMIND!!!! Damnit

Aaaaand after 2-3 weeks of getting me amped up and pumped for my deployment, it's CANCELLED! Out of the blue, I was notified that the whole thing is off, so I no longer get the awesome experience I was looking forward to. I'm pissed, but there's no one I can specifically be pissed at since it clearly had to come from a very high level to cancel an entire tasking, but mostly I'm disappointed. I was really looking forward to the new things I was going to learn in all the pre-deployment trainings I had, and all the experience I would get from actually being deployed. Plus I was already thinking about some nice things I would get with all that deployment money.... so sad. Now its back to the mundane everyday clinic life. Forever. Also, Taylor missed out on a deployment he could have done but turned down because of mine, AND we cancelled our Rome trip. We're going to try to reschedule since the flights weren't able to be cancelled and we still have those, so if we can re-book the hotel we'll try again. The initial TDY I had scheduled the whole time is still on, so I will still be home May 18th-27th, and the party is still on. Good news there at least. Now its time for a consolation beer. =(
