Why do I live in this part of the world??? I hate the heat!
Anyhow… Life is looking up a little bit today. Yesterday I went and turned in paperwork at the community college for my adjunct position. This included having to go to the police department to get fingerprinted yet again… This is the fourth time in the past five years. The DOJ is going to get tired of running my background checks soon at this rate. Why is it that I always feel nervous walking into a police station?
As I was standing in Human Resources at the school signing yet more paperwork, the very nice HR lady was trying to explain the differences between two different retirement programs that I was offered. If you plan to teach for a long time, go with plan A. If not, stick with plan B. I looked at her and tried very hard not to tell her how young I am and how long it will be before I can retire. I already have 3 years in plan A (STRS) from working as a substitute teacher, so I decided to cut down on the confusion by sticking with what I already have. There is really an inordinate amount of paperwork involved in being hired at this school. I guess I should probably just try to get used to it. Yippie.
