Our “meeting” was not a meeting at all. Greg was not even there, or at least we didn’t see him. The receptionist of the place sat us down and had us sign one more paper while she copied our driver’s licenses. From there we were seated at a couple of computers to complete an extensive survey. She told us it could take anywhere from an hour up to two and half to get the thing done. My question is why don’t they have you do this on your own time? I would have been much happier filling out something like this while sitting at work, or during some down time at home. Anyway we finished it in about an hour or so. I guess from here Greg is going to contact to us to schedule a home visit. Sounds like he’ll come to our apartment to make sure we don’t have any weapons or drugs and then take some time to get to know us. I bet many of the things we talk about are the same things this survey asked, so why even take it in the first place? I guess they now have a hard copy of all our answers. Oh well, it is over and wasn’t really that time consuming.

Kim is heading to South Dakota today, or at least I think that is where she is going. I’m sure it will be an exciting time. I’ve got hockey tonight, so that will probably keep me busy enough until tomorrow.

  1. that’s weird…. when I worked at BBBS we conducted actual interviews, not computer surveys. The home visit is to make sure your place is safe, but they’ll also give you some scenarios, like “if you little came to you and was thinking about trying drugs, how would you handle it?” etc.

    Give him or her a drink instead? :) I thought it was a little strange too, but maybe Greg was busy and this is the backup method. Oh well, I’m sure we’ll be more comfortable at home for the interview.

    Forget the kids; I can hook you up with a nice friendly pit bull puppy. No forms to fill out, no questions asked, and he probably would like your bunny.
