The second thing I noticed is that at 8:45 there was almost no one there. Those who were there said that my supervisor was not expected in today. One person was going to send her an e-mail, but I said I'd send one myself.
So I did. And I got a very quick response (warning: second paragraph hurts--feel free to skip):
"I thought you got lost in the abyss! I never heard back and I tried contacting you several times.
"Unknown about the issue that your speaking of, last I new is that you were still pending a background check. I will contact my District Operations Management about your case and get back with you"
I'm not sure how she tried contacting me several times since I did not get a single phone call or e-mail message. As for the second paragraph, I suppose people who can't write also need jobs. At least I understood it.
And she immediately forwarded me the reply she received. However, she had only told her contact some of the information, and the reply was to help me get my access, which I already have. So I explained all that to my supervisor. Since then, it's been radio silence.

In other news, I hiked to my credit union, which is something I have refrained from doing in the past because it's two miles away. But I decided a nice hike before the weather got cold would be good and I was right. But the check I deposited was over 90 days old and therefore expired; we'll see if it takes. Maybe I should have called for a new check; I wasn't realizing that I was risking fees.
I also tried a new recipe for coconut oat muffins because I was given a large bag of toasted coconut a while back. The muffins are pretty tasty but a little dry, so Robin and I have decided that the addition of applesauce might help next time.
