Inetta the moodsetta, anyone?

Impatiently waiting for my background check to come back... I listed old speeding tickets in the misdemeanor section even tho they didn't show up on my student initiated one, so I wonder if it will take longer since I listed something that is out of my state's records.

Were they considered misdemeanors in the state it occurred??
I've been under the impression that my 2 traffic infractions in the states in which it occurred are simply infractions so I didn't note it on the background check. Hope it doesn't bite me back!

Classic! "I've been working here 6 years...and I only make $6 an hour. That ain't nothing!"

I was soo freaked out by this possibility that I went ahead and ordered my background report.

Completely agree. However, try your best to do your best!! You never know if your colleagues might reappear in your life later on, or if you might need a letter of rec in the future...

I type this as I'm ready to shove everything off my desk, screaming "I'M OUT!! BYE FELICIA!!"

They won't show up

For any scared Cali residents....

Edit: Not sure if this means your record is clean after 3/10 years or just that the points drop off...

I think that's for purposes of insurance-- but this is where traffic school kicks in-- you can expunge the points via traffic school.

Maybe a dumb question, but I lived out of the country for 5 months for a study abroad in college way back in 2010...do I need to list that address as part of my background check?
Edit: I'd rather not list it if I don't have to...the country is know for terrible bureaucracy and has fallen into a bit of political turmoil.

A note for anyone who has lived abroad: I was asked to provide copies of my passport/visa for my background check

No where does it say best=the most money. And it actually gives a pretty detailed report on how they make the rankings: http://money.usnews.com/money/caree...out-the-us-news-best-jobs-ranking-methodology.

So, for anyone who had speeding tickets that they were worried about... I spent ~3 hours searching court records and talking to the people at Certiphi, and they pretty much said that if I hadn't disclosed the speeding tickets, they would not have found them. But, since I disclosed them, they needed the ticket#, location, offense, etc because they have to confirm what is disclosed. Long story short, don't overthink things like I did... Even though they weren't available through the DMV, I was able to find my specific traffic violations using the specific court websites and was able to find the ticket #'s, but it was a huge hassle and now I bet they'll be listed on my cbc.

Were they misdemeanors?

What do you guys think about this for note taking/reading? I already have an airbook, but I find I retain things better when I hand write info.

I'm worried about my traffic infractions as I didn't disclose any of them.. hopefully I'm not in a weird state that counts them as misdemeanors haha.

I just realized that I need to update my status from pre-medical to medical student 😱 Those little things bring me joy

That looks pretty cool! Do you know when it comes out or how much it'll be?

If you preorder (it comes out in August) it's $375. After that, $700.

Ohhh super interested in that. I just cannot get over old-fashioned paper and pen notes, no matter how often I have tried. This might be an interesting compromise, thanks for sharing!

Me either! It's just not the same.

@Fancy_Feast Looks like they just streamlined Microsoft One Note to an entire tablet.

If they made an Anki cards tablet... $$$

A note for anyone who has lived abroad: I was asked to provide copies of my passport/visa for my background check

I lived abroad for a few years when I was younger. I wonder if they'll ask me too. So far they only contacted me to verify my date of birth, saying they couldn't look up my state records because they didnt have it. My dob is listed correctly already on the background check application. So idk why they asked or what they're doing.

I didn't disclose any of my traffic violations / tickets. Wasn't a problem for me, so hopefully not a problem for you 🙂
I live in VA

I was looking at ipad pros and apple pens yesterday - seems like a good idea, but a lot of $$$$...

If you don't live in a rural area Pokémon Go is still a pretty decent game.

I loved pokemon go when it first came out but then every gym had like 3000+ dragonites so I gave up haha

I don't play for the gyms anymore. Spoofers ruined them. I just play to hatch eggs and get some exercise in while reliving childhood nostalgia.

Edit: I combine it with the Nike Running app so I can keep up my pace.

I might have to get back into it was pretty awesome the first month it came out. Except my battery was always dead

I think they fixed a lot of that and the battery saver mode is much much more reliable now.

My tip? Look up the strategy guides, haha. You literally have to play a perfect game to win on brutal. The cold weather countries suck

I recently received this as a present and it has been doing wonders in regard to passing the time: https://www.trndlabs.com/product/skeye-mini-drone-with-hd-camera/

I never considered myself to be a 'drone person', but I haven't had this much fun in years. It does back/front flips, barrel rolls, and it's really fast. Incredibly durable as well. Cats hate it, my dog loves it.
