Courtney that sucks. It's especially sucky that you have to go to the landfill state again.
So, I went to meet a client today at the high school I went to in 10th grade before we split into two high schools. At that time, 9th graders went to Junior High. The librarian there was the librarian from my elementary school. I didn't talk to her, and I don't know if she recognized me. I think it's possible she did, but maybe she wasn't sure whether I was myself or my younger sister. A lot of people can't really tell us apart well, and considering I last saw her in elementary school, it's possible she didn't recognize me or couldn't tell which one of us I was.
Also, and I guess I should be happy about this, recently, people have not thought I was really young. However, they seem to think I am old enough to have kids, which I guess at 24 is true. In my mind though, I don't think I am old enough to have a 6 year old. I've been asked if I am the parent of one of my 6 year old client. On one hand, there's probably just as many ways as she looks like me as she does her mom. I don't remember how she was conceived, but I am pretty sure she isn't genetically related to her mom.
When I wrote back about what I wanted for my mentoring group, I said I preferred Thursday, but I could do Tuesday. I got assigned to a Tuesday group. Now I was asked if I could do Thursday. Now I'm not sure what I wanted to begin with is what I still want. If I stay on Tuesday, I know who I'm going to be with. If I agree to move to Thursday, I don't know those answers. Why couldn't I have just had what I wanted to begin with? Also, why couldn't people have submitted their forms on time? Then there probably wouldn't be a need for this. Why doesn't someone else here tell me whether I should keep the known quantity, or change to the unknown? Maybe I should ask who I will be with on Thursdays, and decide from there? Do you think it would be rude? The person on Tuesdays is the person setting this up, so if I make my decision based on that, I feel like if I decide to move after knowing this, I will really be insulting her. However, I also feel like, if I chose to move, and get moved to someone I know and don't like, I'm going to really regret that too. Again, anyone who wants to tell me what to do, please feel free.
