Light in the darkness.

Well this has been a pretty interesting week, Started work at Life University doing maintenance, but on our first day they tell us that they basically have no idea why we're there and that they have to call CobbWorks to find out what's up and to go home. We then show up Tuesday and they got everything settled out with CobbWorks, so we work from 9 to 1, we had to call it and early day because one of the work studies (students who work under life to pay their tuition) had to go to class told us to finish some of the work orders and left us with a golf cart to use, well apparently we wasn't supposed to drive them because we wasn't covered under their insurance, but our supervisor didn't tell us that, so when we were"let loose" a security guard came up to us to tell us to go to the security office we get escorted back and basically get reprimanded about the use of the golf carts and get let off early.

Tuesdays & Thursdays are our GED class days, After our "incident" at work we get home rest for a few hours and go to the school, well apparently our "handler" didn't send over our placement test scores so we couldn't start that day so we got stuck at school from 6-8.
On Wednesday we showed up and told that we weren't supposed to show up, we then go to the HR office and talk to them where they tell us that "it wasn't communicated well enough" and that "they were sorry". Since we were already there they put us to work filing in financial aid all day. Well before we took our lunch break the head of the physical plant came and apologized to us about the whole incident. So now were are working directly under him and working with his men instead of the work studies, and if they have any opening after our 6 weeks its a full-time $11-13/hr job with benefits...funny how that works eh?

And now Blake has all his stuff in order to drive legally...meanwhile my car's still dead...
