Waiting

As I said in my last post, I am now a Red Cross volunteer. I went to the training, I filled out the paperwork. I went and got a big shot. I bought a bunch of things that I need to survive out there. And now I wait. When you volunteer for the Red Cross, you give them a "fly date"- the date that you can fly out on. My fly date originally was September 12, but then a job opportunity came up and I put it off until September 18. Now, with all of the shelters that are in operation at this moment, you would think that I would go out immediately. But, no, four days later and I am still waiting. I have put my jobs and life on hold for this, and I haven't been sent out yet. I am annoyed. I really want to be back by 9/29/05 because I have a concert to go to on the 30. I know that is selfish, but I paid for the concert and I really want to go. Anyway, I'm calling them today to find out what is going on. Bleh.
