i'm such a doi-yoi

I've had quite the frantic day.

I was in a rush to get groceries before I had to tutor today. I picked up the mail and found a package from Saskatoon Public S.D. telling me I have been accepted as a secondary substitute teacher. Hooray! Finally! They had some forms they needed me to fill out and some I.D. to show them before I could begin. I checked the time and realized I could run down to their office and get it all down today before it closed. I had to postpone my tutoring session but it was not a problem.

I got downtown and the secretary was photocopying my criminal check when she noticed the date on the letter. I received the letter on August 18. They do not accept criminal checks that are more than 3 months old. Three months ago was yesterday. Oi with the poodles already! Can I never win! The date on the letter they sent me was dated November 5. Since when does it take 2 weeks to send a letter within the city? The secretary told me that they may accept it but I should go apply for another one today just in case.

I arrive at the police station about 7 minutes before closing. It takes a couple minutes before an officer is able to let me go to the second floor to apply for the criminal check. He was arguing with a woman about a subpoena that does not exist but she swears it does. This other lady and I arrive at the office and it had just closed. Boo. We are given a form from the lady at the finger printing office and were told to come back on Monday.

I got home and had enough time to wolf down supper before I had to go out again. I needed to borrow a friend's scanner so I took my laptop over. When I got there I realized I left the things I needed to scan at home. What a day! As I left and got to my car I realized I left my purse at his place. As he returned my purse I assured him that I was like this all the time.

Just as I got home I received a message from my roommate that friends of ours had invited us to a movie. My one roommate and I went to Bridget Jones. It was peelarious.

Time for sleepy.
