Sign, Sealed and Delivered

Everything was sent in yesterday and they received it today. I'm so relieved! I don't have to worry for another couple months until I have to go to detroit to get my visa! I'm done done done! And while it was a stressful weekend, with the paperwork and extra hours put in at work, at least the extra time resulted into some overtime pay!
I did hear some not so good news, I just bought a black suit to add to my wardrobe for work only to hear that there is a new no black suit rule in place. Even the pants can't be black. That sucks because I just bought a black suit and already had it talored. Oh well, I'll use it for my professional life when I come back from teaching. At least I got it on sale and didn't pay full price for it. I've never stressed about money before but suits are expensive! I like to get mine from The Limited because they have these travel suits that don't wrinkle and don't have to be drycleaned! You just toss them in the laundry!
Expecting another skunk story here? Didn't go outside today. Maybe next time.

Less Stressed

I went to FedexKinkos yesterday and explained the situation to a different store. They were kind and retook my pictures for me. I like them better then the first time. The gentledude got it on the first shot! I'm also less stressed because I have everything together for my visa and such. All I have left to do is to call on Tuesday and sign the final paperwork. Even working the extra hours I was able to get it done. I should not be bitter about working extra because I think I get some overtime, plus the future holds less drama. This weekend just blindsided me with a lot at once but in the end good things came from it. My only regret is that I did not have a chance to give a gift to Shannon before she left for her Disney College Program. I'll just have to send it to her when she gets her apartment placement.

On another note, I think I am cursed. I saw another skunk by my bush yesterday when I came home from work. I don't know if I'm seeing them because I'm looking for it or because its out to get me. There should be a free service for skunk removal because it is terrorizing the neighbourhood, and by neighbourhood, I mean me!

Stressed

Well, I got my package in the mail, it has all the info I need. I'm nervous because I have a lot to put together and read in 4 days. I went and got my picture taken today at Fedex Kinkos and the woman rushed me. When I asked her to retake the picture she was impatient. I'm not happy with them and the recruiter warned me on the phone not to pay for the picture if I didn't like them. I may be out 35 bucks. I'm going tomorrow to a different one to see if they will retake it. That same lady has screwed me before. Well, we will see how it all turns out tomorrow. On a bittersweet note I had to go into work again to cover a shift.. that would be the bitter part, but the sweet part is there will be much less drama at work from here on out. The remaining 5 months that I have left here will be better then I thought!
I have another skunk story... My family thinks I'm paranoid about skunks but I keep seeing them! I saw one right next to my parking spot on the street when I pulled up to the house. It ran towards the evergreen that I thought it lived under and then it veered and went under the bush in front of my window. THEN... it ran across my driveway and went towards my other neighbours house. I didn't realize how fast those things can move. That freaks me out even more, How am I suppose to run away if they are fast and can spray up to 15 feet! Anyhoo I think I have a toe across the phobia line, this is not me being paranoid! Anyway I will be less stressed after Tuesday.
