I left work early today. Had to drive 45 minutes out to my son's school to pick him up. Drove another 45 minutes down into the city so he could file for his certificate of residence that he needs for school otherwise they'll drop him as of tomorrow.
We get down there and they tell us we don't have all the paperwork they need. We're missing something recent showing that he still lives at this address. All we had was some tax forms from earlier this year.
But they said I could e-mail them what we need and they'd fax the certificate to the school.
So we get back in the car and drive another 45 minutes back out to near the school because my son set himself up a dr. appt. But they won't see him because he doesn't have his immunization records or a physical form.
Finally get back home after 3 hours of driving around in 90 degree heat and I didn't use the a/c because I"m trying to save on gas.. bad enough I burned half a tank with all that running around.. and I feel like I didn't really accomplish anything.
Well I did e-mail in the forms needed for the residence certificate and they said they'd fax the certificate to the school today, so at least that should be all set.
But after all that driving around I now have a headache and am not feeling very good!

I usually take more paperwork than I actually need, to avoid this kind of trouble. I have to deal with public organizations most of the time and sometimes they ask for something more that they remember at the last minute.
At least your job was done, sorry to hear that you came back with a headache.
I think you deserve to relax for the rest of the day and maybe get a quick nap to feel better.

I brought a ton of paperwork, but none of it was recent enough. I brought tax forms and pay stubs, but they were all from last summer or this past spring. They needed something within the last 30 days.

@besweet My worry was that my son wouldn't get the certificate he needs by tomorrow, but they faxed it to the school so hopefully he's all set and won't have to drop out of school now.

@katsmeow1213 You can see the positive aspect of the situation! At least they accepted the e-mail and you didn't have to drive another 90 minutes to give them the paperwork yourself.

Sorry that you aren't feel well. I hope things get better for you soon. I know the heat has really been getting to me lately too.

The radio said it will stay hot through next week. Ugh!! It's September, it's supposed to be cooling off now!

@katsmeow1213 We have the same temperature here as well. At least it's getting colder in the evening.

@besweet Yes, that is true. I can't wait for the cool air of Autumn. It's my favorite season.
