So, I’m an idiot.<\/p>\n
Yeah, the title told you that. Plus, all of you who know me personally probably had some clue as to my idiocy. Thanks for not rubbing it in all these years. I appreciate it.<\/p>\n
Why am I an idiot? I’m so glad you asked.<\/p>\n
I was supposed to take a certification test. A test that I have been bugging my boss to let me take for quite some time now. He finally scheduled it for me and what did I do? Well, first I rescheduled it. And then I rescheduled it again. But that’s not why I’m feeling dumber than Paris Hilton at a MENSA meeting… No, the problem is that the second time I rescheduled, I made it for a half hour later instead of twenty-four and a half hours later. That’s a small difference.<\/p>\n
So, I showed up yesterday and the guy goes “you didn’t show up yesterday.” Sucks to be you…… And so I say, probably a little too smugly, “just let me show you my email receipt and then you’ll have to let me take the test.” We all know where this is heading…<\/p>\n
The email said May 17th, not May 18th. What’s the difference between 7 and 8? Oh, about $150.<\/p>\n
I pleaded with the guy. He just kept asking for my credit card. “You pay me again, you take test.” I called up the test company and spoke with a supervisor. No dice. The only thing left to do was to call my boss. He was remarkably understanding considering the fact that I had just blown part of my training budget. He even rescheduled the test for Monday. And told me to write it on my hand. I had better pass this test on Monday.<\/p>\n
EDIT: I should add that reason number 4,582 why Kristian is the greatest boyfriend in the universe is that he came to watch my frisbee game yesterday, knowing that I was feeling pretty down and he brought me flowers<\/i>. I should clone him so that future generations of women could benefit from his kindness. I bet I would win a Nobel Prize. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
