You know, the only reason I can laugh at this is because of severance pay.
Tuesday was the big day- I was going back to work. Since all I was going to be doing was orientation stuff, I didn't have to be in until 8:30. Even so, getting up at 7:00 was a bitch considering I've been staying up late and sleeping in for the past week. Doesn't help that I have a boyfriend that is used to 2nd shift hours, either.
I got up, took a shower, dressed nice, put on makeup, made coffee, packed leftovers for a lunch, and literally had purse in hand and was ready to walk out the door when my phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is this Sara?"
"Uh..yeah."
"Were you planning to be at the 8:30 orientation?"
"Yes, I'm heading out the door now."
"Oh good, I caught you..."
Turns out, my start date had been pushed to Aug. 19th....and they forgot to inform us. A guy I worked with over at Covance was scheduled to start the same day as I, so I asked if he had been informed, because he had to drive from St. Joe. Ha, it was actually when Dave showed up that they realized that they had forgotten to tell us!
So, I get another week of 'vacation,' which, like I said earlier, thank god for severance pay. I at least have a few things to keep me from going completely stir-crazy: I am heading back to my parent's place in Clarkston this weekend for my brother's open house, Andy's mom's family reunion is also this weekend, and Val asked if she could come out for a few days. I'm so excited to see her and my Sunny-butt again, and to meet her new dog, Ryver :)
