Worry bankrupts the spirit.*

The snarky review bit below I wrote on Wednesday. I pretty much can't write anything today because I can't write anything now and expecially not about the awesome lunch we had at the Now-Ex-Internship because I am freaking out.
I'm not starting my Awesome Internship of Awesome Which is Proper and Paid and Awesome on Monday.
I'm not starting my internship on Monday.
Turns out there's paperwork in the way - I have to officially apply to the internship programme - and then a contract has to be drawn up and an ID made and these are things that aren't going to happen Monday as I thought they were and as I'd been told they were when I asked if I needed to do any paperwork prior to starting and sure I could have hunted down the answer to that question but when your future supervisor says you'll do the paperwork the day you start, then what do you do?
So this paperwork will take about two weeks, so I'm scheduled to start around the 13th of June. Most of the paperwork is pretty fine - my CV, some basic info, a "hell no, nepotism didn't help me" form, and some online course of "working in the field" which I don't even.
But that's not why I'm freaking out.
I am freaking out because the other form, the LET'S FREAK OUT form is a medical form. A full-on life-history, massive questionaire, and MEDICAL EXAMINER STATEMENT and BLOODWORK and CHEST X-RAYS and AAAH.
I do not have a doctor. I do not have a doctor and I have apparently two weeks to find one and get an appointment within that time to have freaking blood tests and x-rays and every possible sort of prodding and poking and this is for a six month internship and how am I going to do that and what the hell a medical statement for an internship and I AM FREAKING OUT.
And, of course, I've finished my other internship, the one with the nice, supportive, helpful people. If you think I'm going to show up back there and beg for help, advice, and support, then you know me well.
In conclusion: FREAKING OUT.
ETA: CANCEL THE FREAKOUT. I repeat, CANCEL THE FREAKOUT. Future Supervisor responded to my email (wherein I failed to freakout, which was good of me) saying to wait on filling in the forms until asked by the department involved. So that's good. Of course, this means I can't do anything to help the process and am just waiting and I'd already been all mentally prepped for a Monday start... On the other hand, holidays! ...which I will squander because I'm just that much of an unplanning bum.
Sickle's Running Review of Shark Attack 2:
Man gets cartoonishly stuck on a rope tied to the aquarium shark's food - shuddup, of course sharks in aquariums are fed on-a-rope food - and then falls in and there's a shark and OH HAI SICKLE'S WORST NIGHTMARE A GREAT WHITE SHARK IN THE POOL.
Look, he's Australian! You can tell by the godawful not-Australian accent and the hat and the oh-hai-my-chest vest. The stereotypes! They're everywhere!
You "tagged" the shark? What with? Your magic super shark tagging stapler? You work at an aquarium.
Stock footage is super stocky.
Soundtrack, you are holding up a neon sign. Shut it off.
Falling-in-love montage? Bite me. (OMG he's feeding a squirrel! True love, yo!)
Mutant sharks? Packhunting sharks? Super-growing sharks? 'Roid-rage sharks? Oh come on, pick one!
"scientific mumbojumbo" - Oh no you di'nt!
A shark's escaped from the aquarium after eating a man in front of the kiddies? And is still killing people? This calls for a beaaaaach paaaaarty! [fifteen minutes later] OMG GET OUT OF THE WAAAAAAATEEEEEEER!
Scanning the ocean with bonoculars for sharks is useless. Sharks can fucking swim under fucking water.
D'aaaw, animatronic sharks ♥
Aaaah! There's a sex scene in the water but there are sharks in the water. DO NOT PUT THESE TWO CONCEPTS TOGETHER, MOVIE! I've just watched sharks roll around in chum-water and now you want me to think about not-so-sexy-really people rolling about in water? CHUM! That's all I can see!
I do not even care how this ends.

Date: 2011-05-29 03:43 pm (UTC)And why DO they need a full and detailed medical history with up to date records?? I don't think it's legal to demand that level of information for an office job in Canada. It's very invasive.
I'm glad that you will eventually start the internship, and that it's not cancelled or anything.
