Ms. M:

Running With Scissors

Hell Week Revisited.

This past week I've been running around like the proverbial "chicken with it's head cut off." The week has been one very long day after another and they pretty much have been running into one another. Sleep is not happening as much as I would like. The good news is Mr D was quite frisky this morning so I got some much needed stress relief!! Hallelujah!

I've been working a lot. More than I want to. The problem is that school starts next Thursday and I've had no time to register my son for school. So, I took half a day vacation this morning to try to get it done. It's a long story, but I had to withdraw him from school at the end of last semester because he was failing everything and had missed so many days of school that his driver's permit had been suspended. I knew we were moving at that point as well so I need all of his information, all his records and his withdrawal paperwork. I went to the school twice to get this paperwork, but the registrar never had it ready for me and kept asking me to come back. Since May I've called the registrar several times only to be forced to leave a message. Guess what? Never a return call.

So, I took the morning off and headed toward his old school 40 miles away. About halfway there I get through to someone at the school.

Me: May I please speak with the Registrar?

Lady: They won't be back in the office until Monday.

Me: **blink**

Me: I'm sorry, did you say Monday?

Lady: Yes, they're out today.

Me: But school starts in a week, why wouldn't they be available for registering students a week before school starts? I am already on my way to the school, I live 40 miles away, I took the morning off to do this. Can't someone help me at that school? I need to register my son at his new school, I need his records and withdrawal paperwork!

Lady: I'm sorry, but you'll need to speak to the Registrar for that.

Me: Can't you just have them fedexed to me or mailed??

Lady: You'll have to call her on Monday, I can't help you.

Thanks for nuthin byotch.

I did the school enrollment thing today. And my dog chewed up a pair of shoes (they weren't the price of your comforter though).

I'm just glad to have found another Atlanta, Ga blogger though!

Marn--registrars are famous for being dipshits.

I'm not at all surprised.

I hope you get it straightened out soon though.

I'm glad JMB is well and going back to school.
