Update: I got some bad info. I’ve been told its not Commonwealth of Kentucky causing the problem, It’s South Dakota. My apologies. Minnehaha County (Sioux Falls) says it won’t get to the background check request until Friday at the earliest. This pushes my start date back to Monday at the earliest.
I’ve got a job.
It didn’t take long.
Starting soon I’ll be working for a company that provides a specific type of customer service to a major computer software company. I’m being deliberately vague because this blog is theoretically open to just about anyone in the world and I’ve already signed a stack of confidentiality forms.
My start date is up in the air because along with the lip-zipping paperwork, the company is doing a background check. Three states were checked. The two One mid-western states I lived in the longest cleared with the Nordic-style efficiency residents here are known for. It’s my old Kentucky home seems to be taking its sweet tea time.
Strangely, the bluegrass state is the place where I did the least amount of damage. I worked all the time and lived there just two years. Still, its their southern-style bureaucracy that’s keeping me from moving on.
I should have started today. Now I’ll start tomorrow. Maybe. ?????
