Good morning, one and all! Yesterday's TV antenna project was a success. We went from receiving 5 digital channels and one analog channel (which never really came in), to getting 41 digital and 1 analog.

I've not yet had time to check them all out, so I'm not sure what all is there. I think several are shopping channels, which I will never watch. It's still better than what we had, and for a price roughly equivalent to one month of cable TV....

I'm a multi credentialed teacher.

I passed the background check for the secret service.

My son's school still made me do an additional fingerprinting and background check to be able to volunteer at his school.

It's a good thing I guess but a pain in the butt when I know I'm already clear and it's verified.

My friend did and I just wanted to see if I could pass the background check. I had just passed the screening for teaching and from my previous job I had semi-high level govt. clearance already. Just for sh*ts and giggles mostly.

They dig up all kinds of stuff I didn't even remember but for the most part I'm a squeaky clean kid because I've never been caught for the stupid stuff.

Okay, but why? Those things cost good money.

Did I ever tell you guys about the time a Secret Service agent recovered a stolen ukulele for me?

To see if I could pass.


It was part of the application for the SS and I didn't pay anything. I was applying for a position as an Instructional Designer within the SS. I had one friend that was a desk jockey in the SS and he told me it was a job with great benefits and retirement.

The position I applied for was based in Maryland and I didn't want to relocate so I ended up withdrawing my application.

It was more of a whim.

Fingerprinting and background checks for the state of California are at least $100. Probably the same process teachers go thru.
