Happy Unbirthday to Me!

Oh, man what a confusing morning! Got a call from my branch at Shin Koshigaya this morning asking if I was working today (you can tell they're organised with a question like that, huh?) to whcih I told them that I had done a swap with another teacher for today. They said it was for NEXT saturday. It very well could be but we filled in the swap form the day before the other teacher needed it so I didn't get the copy and was going from memory and was PRETTY sure I had swapped today.

I rang foreign personel and for the first time I got a genuinly sincere woman for while was annoyed that we had made a mistake was adult enough to look at all angles and see how unorganised our branch is (Our staff at SK still hadn't faxed her a copy of the form yet) and after a few more calls said that "Honestly, Brad. I don't know what's going on either."

I still get a whole day (and then some) of my salary deducted but I get the day off and the fact that someone at FP was on my side or at least understanding made all the difference. Normally they'd leave me feeling like I was going to be deported.
