Name. Lauren. Ugg! This is so boring! Last name. Tripoly. Mom always said getting yout work license was boring, but I didn't realize just how boring it really is. I'm filling out all the paperwork for my work card. The job position box is filled with the title Sorcerer's Apprentice. Then, the boring stuff is filled out, so now all I have to do is get my picture taken.

I walk over to the room labeled "photos". As soon as I walk in, the photographer starts babbling about how many ugly people she has walk through that door. Personally, I don't see why we have to take a photo. Everyone knows each other here because no one leaves and no one comes in. Plus, my long blond hair, pale, freckled face, and blue eyes don't make for the most beautiful combination. "Move over here", the photographer says. I walk toward where she points. "Head straight. Shoulders back", she commands. I really tried my best to look nice, but never seem to be perfect enough. So, she goes on, for what seemed like hours, talking about how I had horrible posture and was acting like a squigamuffin, a pesky fairy that worships the spirit Evera.

After the horror of taking that useless photo, I go to the front desk and give them my paper work. "Your card will be here in two days. Until then, you're off work", the worker states. I head home thinking about my comfy bed. Once I reach home, I don't even speak to my mother, Miriam, or my sister, Penny, I just fall asleep.
