Babbling

So this seems to be one of the longest days I’ve had at work in recent memory. It seems everyone else on the planet (AKA: Texas A&M University) has taken the day off except for the people occupying my office. What that means for me is that I have a LONG, BORING day staring at the clock and jumping on each email that trickles in like it’s a piece of raw meat and I’m a ravenous animal. See—I told you it has been a long day.

I did get a phone call today at lunch from a supervisor at the home office of the adoption agency we’re working with. He apologized profusely for the way our case has been (mis)handled and said he would be doing our homestudy himself.

I couldn’t help but wonder if he meant what he was saying or if it was code for “Well, you’ve now been deemed the difficult, hard to please, forever pestering us clients so I, as a supervisor, will be performing your homestudy to ensure that nothing slips by and your home gets the white glove treatment for sure.”

But alas, at least it’s scheduled for July 21 and he promises that it will not be cancelled under any circumstances this time. Now I am really nervous. I feel more nervous than I was the other 3 times it had been scheduled—maybe because he’s a supervisor or because I know it’s pretty much set in stone this time? {Insert me, knocking on wood here. Please God, do not take that as a challenge. I am not trying to solicit a test from you where you show me whose schedule we’re actually on.}

Anywho…just some nonsensical babbling for this lovely July 2nd afternoon as I wile away the hours before 5pm.

Happy 4th everyone!
