Stupid, Stupid, Stupid


This morning I got up early- for me now that I work nights, that is a cheerful 8 o'clock. The freaky thing is that I wanted to wake up at 8, I didn't set an alarm and when I looked at the clock on my phone- it said 8:00 exactly. As if God himself had awoken me at the precise time. I love him for that.


Anyway, I needed to go pick up my 106 dollar check that I had won on Monday, and I had to drive down to KISS FM. I got dressed, got in my car, and just started driving. I was halfway to Lewisville before I realized I had no directions, so, I remembered that they have a new office in Los Colinas so I just started heading that direction. I get to Mac Arthur and Beltline and decide that I am probably pretty close, so I give the station a call. The extremely nice lady tells me that I just need to take 635 East to the tollway, head south on the tollway, exit northwest hwy, take a left on northwest highway, take a right on douglas, it is in the bank building on the right. Well, if you know Dallas at all, you know that I have driven completely out of my way, fortunately, I called while I was still near beltline, and I still had the chance to remedy some of my stupidity.

Then, I decided that I was hungry, so I go to la madeline and i get a croissant- it cost 5.39 for a crossaint with some egg, cheese, and tomatoes- unbelievable. Then I grabbed a bottle of Evian, the small 16 ounce size, and it was 1.99- so breakfast was close to 8 bucks- another stupid thing.

The third stupid thing- i had to mail a letter today to irving isd so that I could get a job. In this letter I was supposed to include copies of my transcripts, resume, and letter of eligibility. Well, it took me a lot of hoops to get my transcripts and in my glee, I sealed the envelope, placed 5 stamps on the front, added the address, and then remembered that I did not include my resume, or a contact number. So, I just gave up, dropped it in the mail box and hoped that by some freak chance they will match it to the online application that I filled out.

So, there you have it. This should have gone under my "I hate to admit..." column, but it was too long for that, so you get it here.
