byfirstlight's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GRRRRRR!! I am NOT a happy camper right now. I am very angry, actually. I'm supposed to return to work on November 11th. Yep, that's seven days away. Yuck. I work at the University of Michigan - Flint as the secretary to the Earth & Resource Science Department. It's a fantastic job and I love it. All the professors in my department are awesome. But that's beside the point. The point is that I may not have childcare lined up for Isabella after all. UM-Flint has an on-campus daycare run by the School of Education. I thought that would be the perfect place to send Isabella, for a few reasons: The thing is, it's quite popular, and hard to get your kid into it. So I covered my butt, and got myself on the waiting list back in APRIL. I was told that there would be a spot for me when I returned to work. Well, guess what? That might not be the case after all. I just called and tried to enroll her starting Monday, and I was informed that I would need to be put on the waiting list, which is quite large. I explained that I was told that there would be a spot for Isabella. The girl I talked to had no idea what I was talking about. All she knew is that my name was not on the waiting list. GRRRRRR. GRRRRRRR. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, damn it!!! I'm now waiting for the director to call me back. I'm not happy about this. I BETTER not have to be placed at the bottom of the waiting list. I took care of this crap MONTHS ago. They better not try to screw me. However, I do have a little bit of pull. My boss is a powerful man, and he likes me (no, he doesn't *like* me. He just likes me because I'm a great secretary. you perverts). If they try to screw me over, I just need to pick up the phone and give Marty a call. Tell him I'm distressed, and he'll take care of it. Because that's how he is. He's always got my back like that. But, I hope it doesn't have to come to that. I just don't need the stress right now. I STILL haven't taken Isabella to get her pictures done. That is next on my list. I need to go to Walmart today to get Catfood, toothpaste, and sponges, so I guess I'll make a stop at the portrait studio. I hope they have some sort of special going. I don't feel like dropping a buttload of money on Walmart pictures. Because they just aren't as good as Sears or Penneys. They just aren't. 3:10 p.m. - 11.04.02 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
