BUt I'm almost 18

Ugh, i hate being almost 18. i'm turning 18 in a week and one day. that's 8 days. but you know what this means, in order to start my new job, I either need to wait one more week, or get a wokr permit for 8 days. the thing is is that I'm having trouble finding out how exactly i get a work permit.
this is frustrating. usually I like the fact that I'm young for my level but I'm at the point, we're I need to grow up.
So pray I work out this wokr permit thing so I can start working.
