I Need Specifics!!!

Just so everyone knows, I need to have specifics whenever anyone gives me instructions or I'm going to end up missing something. Mom just had me take her car in to get the brakes looked at with a coupon that would make it free of charge. I told her I would take it in when I took my room mate to work. My brother then comes to wake me up early and says she wants us to go at 9:00am. I guess its a good thing my room mate wasn't even back from her trip to Idaho.
Well I take in the car with my brother following behind me. Turns out he gets lost and looses me (even though I was going pretty slow. Turns out he almost gets hit a few times by other drivers). I tell the car people what needs to be done and I sit to wait for Drew to pick me up. When he gets there they tell me it should only take 20 more minutes so I send Drew home. After 20 minutes they tell me nothing is wrong with the brakes but the rear tires are bald. So I call up mom.
"Oh then just pay with the Discover Card." she says.
"I don't have the card with me."
"I thought I told you to take it with you."
She hadn't.
She tells me to make sure I have Drew bring me the card and hangs up.
I call Drew to come get me and bring the card. I then ask how long the tires will take. They wouldn't be in till after 3pm and I don't have to pay till after the service is done. So much for having Drew bring the card. I just have him take me home.
This would've taken less time if Mom had been more specific about what to do. She always get mad at me when I do what I think she means when just a few extra words would save her the trouble.

A New Blog!

Hey everyone! I have a new blog. It's one of my stories. Go to this link ( http://mjohansen.blogspot.com/ ) to check it out.

My summer in a nutshell.

It's been so long since I've written on my blog and so much has happened. I hope I can keep it all straight.

1. Spring semester. Failed two of the three classes that I was taking. Will have to take them over.
2. Summer break began and with it a new semester of school. This time only one class. Passed with a B!
3. Turned the basement into an apartment! It feels like I have my own place even if my parents are still living upstairs. I have two room mates; Emma and Laura.
4. I was informed that I had been unemployed for 3 months without knowing it. More on this latter.
5. My Birthday. I am now 26 years old. Try to go to the cabin and getting locked out because we forgot the key.
6. My brother Andy lost his job in Denver, Colorado and has moved back home.

Yeah so that's the condensed version. Now to tell about me being out of a job.

I leave Northwest Middle School knowing that my coming back is not very likely but still I hoped. Even if I did come back it would be for less hours. I go the whole summer without doing much about it and focus on my schooling and homework. This was dumb of me, I know. I finally get a call at the end of the summer, just as I go to take my math final, telling me that "no, you will not be expected back this school year." It took them three months! 3 months to tell me that I was laid off!! I don't think I would be so upset if they had told me it was for sure at the beginning of the summer. It would make it a whole lot easier to find a job at another school. Now almost all the positions are filled.

Oh well. I guess that is how life goes. I now have to work really hard to get a job.
