Oh Bother!
So I phoned the number I had to get in touch with the kid or the mom I'm tutoring for. The tutor I'm covering for had told me she would phone them yesterday and let them know she had found a replacement.
So I called and the conversation was something of a disaster. Not only did the woman (students's mom) not know who I was, she didn't know that the original tutor would be out of town/country/continent on Monday. So I was rambling on about possible times and places and this poor woman had no idea who I was or why I was calling. At one point she kinda realised and we had the following conversational exchange:
Her: Oh! You're a tutor! (much relief that she has figured out who the crazy person was) Spanish? Math? Latin?
Bob: um Chemistry
Her: Chemistry?
I know this isn't a story about a horse, but consider this a breaking news flash!

If she has issues over knowing nothing about you, just give her the address of this blog for a reference. That should do it.
Make sure you tell her that you like to snack on mushrooms.
I'm sure this blog would be a great reference for anyone wanting to hire me.
*sobs*
If I was such a dithering idiot, she would rather not hire me, I can handle it. I wasn't exactly jumping up and down in anticipation of the chance to tutor. I've turned down tutoring chances before (though not for quite so much money)
However, I would feel bad because I told the other tutor I would do it and I wouldn't want to make her look bad because she reccommended an idiot.
Some people need a life-tutoring session.
um...like me?
I think I need such a lesson.
