mailed, finally!

A coworker was nice enough to work a few hours for me Thursday morning, so I slept in a little and then went to the police station to be printed.  Ran to Mom's work afterwords and she helped me get it all ready to mail (She kept it at work overnight to let the prints really dry since the IL prints weren't "good enough" and I really don't want to re-do these for CA).  Mom mailed it all out Friday!  Now it's just a waiting game until I get my temporary license and then I can be Cali-bound!

received!

The fingerprint card came in the mail today!!!!!!  Unfortunately, the police department only does fingerprints on Thursdays from 9-11am, and I work on Thursday.  I am toying with the idea of having someone work for me, just 7-11am, so I can go have my prints done and mail all this to California....

waiting... as usual?

All my paperwork is ready to go to mail to California but I am patiently waiting for my fingerprint card so I can be printed and mail it all together.  I am hoping to accept an assignment by the end of October.

going smoothly

Applying for the Cali license looks to be a lot easier.  It requires much of the same as Illinois, but the paperwork process is so much easier.  I requested my finger print card and sent out paperwork to both MI's BON and San Jac.  Ran to Walgreens this AM and got my passport style photo taken and my application is filled out and ready to go.  Unfortunately, Cali's BON is closed today so I am unable to ask them if I can go ahead and send in the application now and send in the fingerprints once they are done, OR if i have to wait and mail it all in at once.  I guess it'll wait til Monday.

Disappointing thing is, David already told me about a job in San Francisco but they need someone within 2 weeks, which I won't have a Cali license for 4-6 weeks.  Oh well, there are tons of Cali jobs.

California

It is my goal, today and tomorrow, to get going on getting my California license.  It appears there are always jobs there, and if I am going to travel, I'll need to travel there.
