back to the grind

Been back at school for almost a week now....well, three days seeing as I didn't actually make it back Monday due to my car breaking a leg. Yes my rear left strut rusted in half and I had to spend the night in a hotel in Maryland. Found some very helpful people who kindly took my Dad's money! Anyway so I tried to call my boss the night before, went to a voicemail where you can't actually leave a message without a code(?), called the school left a message with them. That should be fine right?! Well I found out on Tuesday when I went in for class (early early early because I was supposed to sub for Mom) that the message was not received and they somehow lost a 8 million papers with my number on it. well maybe it was more like 5 million papers. I mean come on people get your shit together. Here are just a few of the places they have my number....my application, my resume (x2), the slip of paper I gave to the secretary 2 weeks before....should I go on or should that be enough for the world?! They weren't actually upset just worried that I was hurt or something ("I said to Jerry, this isn't in her nature to not show up or call. We knew it just wasn't in your nature" -Barbara the sweet secretary), but they didn't know if I was going to show up on Tuesday so they called in a sub for Mom's class.....there goes the extra money I was hoping for (Dad's just going to have to wait a little longer for car payments....you're the best Dad). Oh that also meant 2 extra hours to kill at the school....Oh Joy! Then today I was awake, showered and dressed with so much time to kill. I made some tea, was thinking about making some eggs and then heading off to school.....wait...wait time is it? ...what day is it?? NOT Wednesday! F*#@ IT ALL, I HAVE 5 MINUTES TO GET TO MY CLASS! yup, i did that. My brain is just anywhere but here this week. So I called Barbara again and told her I was on my way in 5. This woman is just so darn sweet "Oh my goodness gracious, well okay, they're with Mr. C and they'll be fine until you get here." I feel like a chicken running round with my head cut off...Mom was so sweet about it all "Welcome to Menopause!" Yeah great, thanks. It's going to go away right?! I mean I'm not even 26 yet. Crapper.
