Underpromise and overdeliver
Dec. 10th, 2001 03:29 pmI gots lots to say, but not the energy to say it, so you only get part right now.
Today: Arose at 7:00 AM so that I could attend a orientation for a mandatory Federal program called Worker Profiling Reemployment Service. This occurred in south-central Seattle, an area I'm not all that familiar with. Finally found the place, walked in 10 minutes late (it wasn't even in the room the letter said it was going to be in) and got to sit through a series of brain teasers, speeches, videos, and PowerPoint presentations. I personally can't think of any way I'd rather spend three hours of my day :)
From there it was off to Seattle Central Community College to talk to a lady who has helped the grrrl with the whole unemployment/school thing. (I forgot to add that I got on the wrong bus and ended up walking from the CD to Capitol Hill in the rain. Soaked was I.) Mary was running late, but I finally got to talk with her. The verdict? She thought that I should go into A) health care, or B) carpentry. I said nay to both and asked her what I needed to do to become a librarian. She didn't know off the top of her head, so a phone call later, she had a name and a number of the man I need to talk to. I'll tell you more when I know more.
I got home and responded to a message left for me by my dad. Apparently my brother has some big news for me. I can only guess as to what it is. If it's what I am thinking...eek.
I've had nary a second to catch my breath. I have to leave again soon to go meet the grrrl's fraternal unit for a lesson in the automotive arts.
