And the AUGHs have it.

I am super duper pissed at the Department of Education. They just sent back my application for an initial educator's license(JUST sent it back. They've had it since May 29th). The entire damn thing. Why? Because I overpaid the fee. By five dollars.

They are horrible, stupid, bureaucratic egomaniacs! I tried calling them a few weeks ago to see if I could check the status of my application and the stupid computer voice informed me that any direct phone contact with a real person will get my application blacklisted and further delayed. I am not even kidding.

And now this. It takes 12 weeks for them to process an application! I have FOUR weeks until school starts! Yeah, I'm certified in my home state, but I'm not (and won't be in time) certified in my new state. AUGH.

In other news, I spent the weekend with my parents and brother going to movies and eating out. We also looked for a new mattress for me, but since I hate shopping so much I prefer to block that heinous memory of a very, very pushy Ukrainian woman who forced me to lay down on at least 15 beds, on my stomach, side and back and just kept dragging me around the store. AUGH AGAIN.

Now I'm tired, I write crappy diary entries and I'm going to be late for work tomorrow because I have to go to the post office to overnight my stupid application resubmission AND go make the idiots who put my new tires on replace the lug nut that fell off. TRIPLE AUGH.
