What have I learned this past week? Well, considering I am currently getting an education at one of the best universities in the world: not much. However one thing I have learned in the past week is to not count on deliveries being made correctly through the mail.
About two weeks ago I interviewed for a student web developer position at Yong Hall. After a week of waiting to hear back I finally received and email saying that they would be offering me the job. All I needed to to before I could start was to come in with either my social security card, birth certificate, or passport; and it had to be the originals. I have no need for those items here at Purdue, so they are all at home. Friday afternoon my mom over-night mailed my birth certificate to me. She was told that anyone could sign for it. At 2:27 the mail was delivered, and there was a group of guys from my house on the front porch. However, instead of my birth certificate being in my mailbox, there was a card saying that I was not available and it will be re-delivered.
Yesterday being presidents' day, there was no mail, but it was supposed to be delivered again today before 3:00. Long story short it was still not delivered today. So I have a job; I just can't go to it yet.
