We finally received our Criminal Background checks from the Texas Dept of Public Safety. I can't tell you how excited I was when I got back to the office after lunch and saw the FedEx envelope on my desk. I knew exactly what it was when I walked in my office because I never get mail at the office.
I opened up the envelope and was very happy to see that they included not just the two copies for each of us that we needed, but four. Wow, what a nice surprise, right? I looked again at the forms more closely only to find that they misspelled Brandon's name (they put an L instead of an R, so it said Blandon).
I guess I can see how they made the mistake. I only put in 3 ways for them to cross check the spelling: (1) we typed our names on the letter we sent to them, (2) we had to include our driver's license numbers, and (3) we had to include our social security numbers. And before you ask, her name is spelled correctly on both her driver's license and socials security card.
The good news is that our agency said that it should be okay for the first time around. The bad news is that I found out that we have to go through this all over again between our two trips to Russia. Boy, are we excited!!!
Up next: getting our FBI fingerprints done and getting the last round of our Hepatitis shots. Oh the joy!

Maybe you should check to see who processed your paperwork. I could be the waiter from Snow Pea over in Lakewood. He used to ask us if we wanted "steamed lice, or flied lice."
