Paperwork

I had forgotten how much paperwork is required to start a new job. In the case that your new job is to be a School Psychologist Intern it apparently triples the steps necessary to finalize the job. Yesterday I stayed home sick *cough cough* from work and went to the HR department at Fairfield. There I learned that I needed to get a letter from my school saying I can be an intern in order to get a "intent to hire" letter from Fairfield. I have to have the intent to hire letter in order to apply for my internship credential. I have to have applied for my internship credential to fingerprint and I have to fingerprint in order to sign the contract. So many steps. I was also given a ginormous packet of forms to fill out. Funzies. So glad I am getting started on this now and that the HR department is open all summer.

So this week at work I turned in my letter of resignation - it was really early because my plan had been to go on Vacation as of July 6 and then burn off all my vacation making my last day around July 30. Today I was asked if I would be willing to leave earlier in order to save a job for one of the people facing layoffs. It's a tough call. My initial reaction was to agree, but my hubby, Mr. Z, has pointed out some problems with the idea and thinks that my job may have ulterior motives. Not sure what to do. Guess I will have to think/pray about it.
