Is this me?

Not!

Well, what I mean is that everytime I show up for appointment after phone calls, they always asked me if I have certain paperwork (or documation and etc). I ended up bring wrong documents or I didn't bring any since I didn't know what it was. Half the time, I don't remember being told to bring something. They always said that they told me on the phone that they have already informed me. I was like... "What?!" So, I ususally arrive empty-handed (or wrong one) and I have to go out and get all the documation that I need and make an appointment all over again. Man! What a waste of time?!

Lately, I start to pay attention through the phone. I realize that they were being in a vague and don't give a clear speaific. Like today, I did called Office of Disablity for requesting an interpreter this coming Fall. She asked me when did I resister. As, I already mention, this Fall of 2007. I have to repeat the same thing I said twice. She said that I need to bring document. I asked, please be more speaific. Her respond, "Just bring documents." I was like, Geeezzz. So, I asked this question, "Are you talking about an approval letter that I recieve from University that I got accepted this Fall?" She said, "No, A document of why I need interpreter." I was puzzle and my face expression was like, "huh?", she is really off the point. So I asked this way, "Are you talking about that I need audioloist paperwork to prove that I'm deaf?" She said, "yes, yes, that is the one."

THANK YOU!! I could have brought a wrong document by bring a letter to prove that I'm being accepted in the University. I've been many different office and sometimes I don't know which one they really wants.

I started to realize that they are really are in vague. I feel like I'm in Jack O'Neill's position from tv show Stargate SG:1. He being scarastic said, "Could you be more vague?!" All along, I thought it was me and I do feel stuid. Now, I realize, that wasn't true. They weren't being speaific. I have to asked... "Be more speaific, pls!" Geez Whiz. If that doesn't work then I have to ask questions so I know what I need to bring for them.

I'm so glad that I'm getting smarter... Or shall I say, increase my common sense??
