PPS number

well, my friends and family-

i took the bus this morning to the office of social welfare to apply for a PPS number, no problems what so ever. my application is being processed and hopefully within 5-10 days i will have my number which means i won't be charged emergency tax of 42% of all my earnings. hooray. i also got myself a library card. so that means i can go to the library whenever i want and to whichever one i want to go to. so this is kind of fun and now more plastic to carry around.

i also got a call from the temp. agency to ask if i would mind having my CV sent into a job, that could be a week could be the entire time i am here. it is to be a junior administrative assistant at the National Lottery. so they are doing a background check on me shortly. so it would be kind of neat to work at thsi location, i will have to see. i dropped off the paperwork at the temp. agency because they needed my original signature as oppossed to a photocopy through the fax machine. on my way to the usit office, or as i refer to it as the useLess office, i was stopped by someone who wanted directions to the national gallery. i was happy to oblige i showed the young asian woman on the map, she thought she was in a different place so i was glad to let her know she was looking the wrong way, and showed her how to get there. she was so happy and of course i was like sure...no problem so as i was waiting for the stop light she took something out of her companions backpack and gave it to me, it is this little piece of paper that has like this beautiful paper chinese woman on it and it says "may peace prevail on earth". how cool. what a sweet and kind gesture for directions. wonderful. so even though it is windy and sprinkling out this happiness warms my heart.

so my time is almost up. everyone have a peaceful, wonderful day.

xoxo,
