The Long Wait

This is a little out of order, but I am going to write it anyway. As part of the requirements for my new job, I had to undergo a background check. It was supposed to take only around 24 hours. One week later, I was still waiting.

It seemed that there was someone in Las Vegas that has my same name and a potential criminal record. The background check company took this very seriously and sent someone out to the court house in Las Vegas to follow-up on this. I finally got the word that I was no longer considered a threat and was officially offered the position on Thursday ... a full week and a day later than it should have happened.

Fortunately, it has been completed, and I will soon be on my way!

Start Date Moved UP

There have been a couple of last minute changes in my position. I was supposed to start on Monday, but I am now scheduled to work on both Saturday and Sunday prior. This isn't a bad thing, but it did cause a bit of upset in the timing of things. 

In addition to that, I was planning on taking a bus to get to New York because I was told that I would be responsible for getting there on my own. In a positive turn of events, I was informed that they would actually fly me out. Of course living in a location where there are only two flights out a day to only one location someone limited my choices.  I will, therefore, be flying out early Friday afternoon in order to be ready to work on Saturday morning. I am sure it will be much fun!

All I have to do now is figure out what to pack! :) 

Testing in Preparation

This post is merely a test as I prepare myself for my next journey. I am not sure which way I am going to go with this yet, but it will be good either way! I am super excited, and super anxious.. but that is what I do :)
