Well, I started out this morning getting fingerprinted for the state, had a work physical, had drug screening, had blood tests for immunities, and went over paperwork for my new job.
Now, I called my former job and it doesn't look promising. They are having a low census problem which means they cut hours during the evening shift. This means that those needing hours fill in on days which means there's no work available for me. Nobody wants time off when their hours are being cut.
So this creates a problem with me starting work in Sept. It's possible for me to start on Aug 25th IF the state comes through with my temp license.
Or...there's a possible other option. When I had my interview, I swear I heard my immediate supervisor talking to the head cheese about my situation and said that all I had to do was produce the evidence (meaning the certified mail stub) that I'd sent my stuff to the state and they wouldn't have to wait on getting my temp license.
Well, she's out of town this week, but I'll be calling her on Monday to ask about that again, because the head cheese lady doesn't recall that convo. IF she did indeed say that, then I'll be able to start two week sooner, meaning I get money two weeks sooner. My landlord won't have a problem if I'm a week late with rent, but almost a month late is asking for problems, especially since I just moved in.
So, I still need a miracle, but I'd rather stay here and work instead of going back. Just too much of a hassle for me, as I have so much to do here with kids starting school in ten days.
Anyway, just an update for you guys, and thanks for all the prayers.

I am praying that when you get in touch with that woman Monday it will be good news and you will get to stay and go to work sooner than later!
I really am praying for you.I have a good job but all of my proverbial eggs are in one basket and any number of things could happen beginning with something as soon as next Summer or something I see in the horizon in less than five years that could mean my job would end. It is a scary feeling and when I hear someone going through what you are going through it really brings my whole situation home.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

I have a plan in place, just hope that all goes as I hope.
I cannot even send my papers to the state until I get my official transcript from school, which I have to fax all info for and it may take 3 days before they mail it, which can mean 3-4 more days til I have it in hand.
So I'm asking the school on Monday if they can send it immediately (which is $15 if I asked for it 'on demand' in person) and to send it overnight mail, which I will also pay for.
This means I will get it Tuesday and will mail it off overnight to the state with everything else I have that same day.
The state can take up to three weeks to get my temp license available online. I will call them after one week and will call everyday until they get tired of my calling and just put it through.
I want to start Aug 25th. This means I have less than two weeks IF all goes as I hope.
Of course, if my immediate supervisor was correct (and I didn't misunderstand), then I won't have to worry about the time factor. That's what I'm ultimately hoping for!
I am excited about this job though. Went through some preliminary paperwork today about what I'll be doing for the next 24-32 weeks and it's intense and exciting.
I've been through rough spots in my life before. Had an obstacle coming here, in fact (did you know that a 26 foot long UHaul only gets about 6 miles to the gallon?) and didn't calculate the cost of gas. I was short about $100, but luckily I had a friend that could help.
Thank God for friends.

I know this has already been thrown out there but we had a situation with my grandmother about a month ago while her nurse was in India for a month... the lady who runs the home health agency called us and told us of a situation exact to what H1 is having... and asked us since all that was being done was she was coming and taking a vile of blood for her protyme and then bp and weight and then one other day i nthe week and sit with her and watch for 2 hrs to observe possibly changes due to the alzheimers if we minded if the nurse was not currently licensed in TX... they gave us papers from the other state showing she had indeed recently passed her exam that they just had to make the papers local...
This nurse encountered no problems at all from any of the regular patients and worked just fine for the entire month and she is now licensed here so if you havent already headed out you might check into this????
