I had to get some printer cartridges at Staples, so I ended up spending the morning at Wal~Mart, reuniting, circling the store, getting hugs and all that good stuff. Their situation is dire, and they're desperate for "good workers like myself". I told everyone that my return is a good possibility. The store manager AND District Manager said there's absolutely no problem - because I'm eligible for re-hire, they still have my file - I can pick up where exactly I left off - benefits included. I even got my discount when I had coffee at McDonald's with my friend.
I visited the College a couple of days ago, and the six-week upgrading courses I want to do take place in the winter, spring and summer - so I have a choice. I may do Math separately in the winter, and then Chemistry and Physics later. I need to make an appointment with the academic advisor.
Life goes on.
