Yepper!
I start work on Monday.
Even just talking to the guy on the phone he sounded ready to hire me. Then I went for the job interview. It lasted over 2 hours; 2 hours of intense questioning, but, he sounded like I was already hired.
Anyway, he called me later and told me that "Yes,' I was hired.
On the way back from the interview, I went by the BAR and put my name in the machine. You have to have BAR put your name into the BAR machine or you can't do a SMOG. You also have to do it in person. I figured I'd save time and gas and bridge toll if I did it while I was already on that side of the bridge.
Then, yesterday morning I went in again to get the key so I could open come Monday morning. While I was there I checked. I couldn't log in to the machine! I was not in it! I called BAR to find out why and the lady checked and said, "Yes," I was in there. Do another data refresh.
Well, I'd already done one, but, I did another one. Still not in there! Oh shit! How am I going to open Monday? Especially since Monday we are being inspected for a new license. You can't transfer the license when you sell the place. You have to apply for a new one.
So, I called BAR again. She had me leave a message for another tech and he called me back a little later with the answer...
"That station doesn't exist yet!" He laughed! "I've put you into the old license with a note to the inspector to transfer all the old techs to the new license. Oh. Tell the other tech I've fixed his problem, too. They had already changed the machine to the new license. That's why he suddenly got cut off the other day and couldn't do a SMOG."
I laughed and said, "I think he knows. He's been doing SMOG's already this morning."
Ahhh, the interesting things that happen starting a new job.
At least I'm working again. Or, will be Monday.
P.S. I was going to go camping for the weekend, but, it's supposed to rain!
