[QUOTE="klmno, post: 546079, member: 3699"] I checked one website today for a nearby college and saw they do have several Sat. events for prospective students. I was doing that during lunch at work with E calling about a PO issue so I didn't have much time. I'm going to see if they have something similar at the colleges that are further away but not too far from each other and schedule that trip first if they do. Then, I can schedule something with the local colleges around the "long-distance" scheduled events. The issue with the PO- the "old" PO sent E's file to the wrong district (go figure) so this district wouldn't meet with us until they got the file, meaning they waited until after I started this new job. So I refused to take off work for them and then they informed me of what I already knew- they had to do a home visit anyway to make sure we really live in this jurisdiction and that E really is here. So I guess E stodd in the driveway about an hour in 90 degree weather while they called a million times driving around saying they couldn't find the house. LOL! Sorry but as much as some of these people have put me thru- I really have no mercy for them anymore. Heck- they get paid to do this, I don't. I sat at work and saved my job and vacation time! E wanted me to mention to you ladies (I think he feels he knows most of you by now) that he spent Sun. morning chasing alpacas out of the backyard back into their penned area. They are the landlord's. Does that count as community service or volunteer work for college? LOL! Really, I'm wondering if I can't help him with some sort of collage or brief about his service to a local vet in the past, donating to save tigers that are endangered, this kind of "rescuing" and keeping various animals safe over the years. Shouldn't that count for something? We aren't close enough for him to do any volunteer work here and the landlord has a whole soap opera of a life so nothing is going to pan out there in the near future. (As a reminder, his dream is to be a vet and he wants to get an undergrad Bach of Science majoring in biology. [/QUOTE]
