Just got a call from the new job. Background check still isn't in. I pretty much expected this. They were told to expect about 2 weeks for it to be completed, meaning it should be done by the end of this week.

However, just to cover their bases, they called corporate headquarters to ask what would happen if the background check never comes back. (Seems like they have everything up to 2003 squared away all ready...the big question mark is just those 4 years in Germany.)

They were given permission to wait until April 11th at the latest, and then I can start that following Monday.

So it looks like the 14th will be the latest start date. However, if my background check comes in before that, they will call me and I can start the next day.

Lance is okay with this because he is supposed to get back on the 11th and he wants me to pick him up at the airport. If he gets back while I'm working, he has to have someone from his office come and pick him up.

And I want to pick him up too...I want to be the first person to see him when he gets back. But I also need to put a tourniquet on my hemorrhaging bank account, and I can't do that until I start earning a paycheck.

And what if you start and then they'll learn about your Uncle Mussafah and his "friends"?

I think they can safely assume that if I have no criminal record up to 2003, I wouldn't suddenly turn to a life of crime in Germany either.

And if I have an Uncle Mussafah, I certainly don't know about him. :P
