Being art of the White House guard and the Presidential detail, especially when a foreign dignitary or leader is present, is one of the biggest honors in the military. But it’s a fucking umbrella, so complaining about it in the first place is massively moronic. Reblogged for the commentary, not for the original poster. And also… AND: “Yes, the Marines are often forced to get wet while standing outside the White House because they cannot hold an umbrella. Yes, the Marine Corps uniform regulations state a Marine cannot hold an umbrella. But Marine spokesman Capt. Eric Flanagan explained to the Washington Post that, according to Title 10 of the U.S. Code, Marines must “perform such other duties as the President may direct.” So when the President asks you to hold an umbrella over his head, you hold an umbrella over his head.” And here’s a fun response from an actual Marine telling umbrella people to STFU.

Eff you 2013

Spent most of my day dealing with medical bullshit trying to get someone to see me over pain in my calf. PCP turned me away since the pain could, COULD, be caused by my recent injury that was a workman’s comp issue. Called my workman’s comp rep to see what I should do but she said that she couldn’t help me unless it was definitely caused by my injury. Called my local urgent care and they said that the workman’s comp rep would have to reopen the ticket before they could help. I ended up on the phone with some higher up at the urgent care. At this point I was crying and just said to the guy, “Look, I know there is a lot of red tape when it comes to this stuff but I’m in pain and I just need someone to help me.” Finally, FINALLY, they agreed to help me out and I was able to see a doctor. Turns out that it is NOT related to the injury and is probably nerve pain though they are not sure what is causing it exactly…though they expect it is a back or knee issue. If it continues or gets worse I might have to get an MRI. Joy joy, fun fun. This is the year of much suck for me.

So, days after losing my brother-in-law, a friend of the family passed away unexpectedly. Then another member of my family is dealing with her young daughter having been possibly sexually assaulted by an older boy in the neighborhood. Just before all this happened my brother’s car died and we have no money to fix it which means we are now a one car household…which also is causing problems with his job. And now? Now, I’m going to yet another specialist and my doctor has mentioned the c word. Fuck you 2013. Fuck you.
