I'm nervous. My babysitting job starts tomorrow, but I have very little idea how well I'll do. I may oversleep. I may do a poor job babysitting. I'm not good with children. Heck, the only reason I agreed to this was the $20 I'd get every time I do.

Somebody give me some advice plz kthxbai

Ive met an incredible person in this world that has showed me the closest thing to this love and if only continue to be patient this person will expierience the Love that one has for another. No one deserves to come to a point where giving up on love is an option. I think that if a person is willing to sacrifice so much time and effort on the person he or she loves that it is love. No effort does not define wat love should be. I might speak in riddles but this person knows who he is. The virtue of patience always ties toether with Love. If the work for patience is achieved then it is what we call love to be.

I was a pro. babysitter back in the day.
What're the ages of the kids? One kid, 6 years old.
Are you babysitting at their house or yours? Their house. My mom is being a jerk about it.
Do you know where the first aid kit is? No.
Do you have a relationship with these kids/the parents? The person I'm caring for is the daughter of my half sister's friend.
Did they give you their kids' schedule? eating/sleeping/etc... Not yet.
How long is it for? 2 hours? 4 hours? 5 hours (7:30 AM to 12:30 PM)

How long is it for? 2 hours? 4 hours? 5 hours (7:30 AM to 12:30 PM) Sounds good. You'll need her bedtime, then. Also blah blah blah.

12:30 pm=afternoon.

You mean he posted that on your account?

My job makes me want to destroy the world.

First off, believe it or not, bureaucracy can serve a good, useful purpose.
Most of the time, though, it only exists for bureaucracy's sake.

Today, I experienced the latter form.

It took me ALL day to draft a letter. OK, so it only actually took me about 20 minutes to draft the letter, it took me the rest of the day to get it into "the correct format".

The indent was one space too far (even though I used a tab), there was one extra character return below the inside address, it needed another one above the address line... It just keeps going on and on and on.

To make matters worse, they were only finding one problem at a time (instead of pointing out everything, or almost everything, the first time they looked at it), then they kept belittling me for "trying to be creative instead of following our style manual and the example" they gave me.

2 problems: 1) I did not have this style manual. Any time I asked for it, I was told "It's on the y: drive". To realize how absurd that statement is, you must understand that our entire division (including 9 field offices) use this network drive and it is one of the least organized drives ever (sometimes it takes 20 minutes to find things that YOU put on there), and nobody seemed able to have a guide they could email me.
2) I DID follow the example letter they gave me (and it was wrong, per their precious style guide).

Eventually, I got it all worked out. It took all day and the finished product (printed about 4:25) looked almost identical to the first product I printed out at 8:30 this morning. If one were to measure with a ruler, they'd be able to barely discern a difference, but the casual viewer (and the recipient) wouldn't know they two were different.

Go above their heads and deliver/e-mail it yourself next time. Bureaucracy is about filing and proccessing numbers and forms that every one needs filed in order to run their daily lives, but instead of being a mindless drone when doing it, TAKE ACTION! FREE THE BEAST! Knock someone out with your hole puncher, kick in someones teeth with a coffee mug-foot-ware, and be the best damn bureaucrat you can be! If they can't handle it, you're in for elsewhere!

Happee happee happee.
