I officially got hired today at NH School.

That one good bit of news negates all of the bad news. Everything's gonna be fine.

The good thing about this wreck situation...I have a horrible time talking to authority types, or mechanics, or anyone where there might be a confrontation. I think I'm officially over that. Being in a constant state of worriedness and pissed-offedness kind of requires one to be assertive. Make that ASSertive. :)
