hmmm... rant or happy news first? hmmm....
Happy News
It's turning green outside! After months of white and brown and grey, I drove home today and saw color! Take a peek - it's been a while since we've seen it.
Rant!
I found out from the job I am supposed to be starting on Thursday (6 days from now) that I can't start working until I have a criminal record check, which is currently taking 10 days, plus time to receive it in the mail.
I challenge anyone to walk into a police station, no matter how prepared you think you are, and walk out having completed a criminal record check form. Twice in the past year I've tried, and twice I have failed. The info and requirements on the internet apply only to the downtown location, not the neighborhood locations. Ensuring proper ID and proper payment methods are harder than you think. The website also led me to believe that I had to drop it off before 4:00. Also untrue because the neighborhood locations have their own hours. Tremendously, tremendously frustrating. The amount of gas I have wasted on these people boggles my mind.
Grrr....
Well, on the bright side, it looks like I may have a longer vacation inbetween positions after all!

Maybe I shouldn't tell them about your drug smuggling from Columbia then...hmm?
I had a record check done to work at the Legion. I didn't think it was a big deal. But I did go to the main downtown station that is close to my place, and the 2 people ahead of me and at least one after were there for the same thing.
