Yeah. Okay.

So I've been to Barrie and back in the time it's taken for me to update. I know. Whirlwind week. So here's what happened:

Monday I got an email from the principal of the school (vague, I know. Refer to previous posts). She said "Oh, I forgot to tell you that Tuesday is a field trip day, we can't have our meeting then, because no one will be around. Let's chat on the phone, or meet on Thursday."
Okay, great. I replied, giving her my phone number, and saying that she could call me at any time on Tuesday, or I would be there at 10:30 on THursday.
So I get an email back. "Oh sorry. I can't talk on the phone today, and I'm going on a skiing trip on Thursday."
Okay, so no meeting Tuesday OR Thursday. I went in anyways on Thursday to work. She was there the WHOLE DAY. Yeah, ooooookay.
Finally got another email on Thursday night. Meeting Friday at 10:30. Deal.
Friday rolls around, and I show up at 10:25. I wait. And wait. And wait. Until 11:45.
Then she comes out of the office. She had been talking to someone.
"Oh, Alicia. I didn't know you were coming in. I thought I was supposed to call you."
Ha, right. Because I'd drive out to Kanata if she were supposed to call.
"I really don't have a lot of time," she said.
We sat down.
"I can't keep you on as an employee of the school. Was that your concern? That was what I wasn't sure about. We can't. You don't do enough - I mean, work enough to be a plausible employee."
Um, yeah, okay.
"Unless you wanted to start up your own business and contract yourself out to us. But you'd have to pay all of your own taxes. We don't handle that kind of thing."
Um.......okay.
"We'll get you paid for the last two weeks. I'll be in touch. It was very nice to meet you."

The end. That was it. Employment terminated, no saying goodbye to anyone....the end.

In other news, Rachel and I met for coffee Friday morning, and we decided, spur of the moment, that I was going to go home with her. So I used (most of) my long distance cell minutes, made some plans, and was in the car on my way to Barrie.
SO NICE being home, even if it was just for a day or two.
Vaughan Mills Saturday, church on Sunday. Time with Jordan, Mama, Dad and Emily.
Drove to Rachel's Sunday afternoon, we left around three thirty. At five thirty, we were only in Pickering. Yeah, sucky weather. Turned around and came back.
This morning we got up, had coffee. Rachel went to the gym at ten thirty....for two hours.
I sat, nursing a newly-acquired cold, for two hours.
Then we left.
Arrived in Ottawa around 5:15.
Good weekend. Sucky ending.
