Update on the Job Thing

A little over a week ago I posted that I was offered a job as a paraeducator (class aide) in a preschool for special needs kids. In the last week I had my physical (I posted some observations of that "experience" in the comments section in the article below) and then had to wait for the doctor to get and view my records from visiting a chiropractor. (I'm assuming the box "yes" next to chiropractor has some sort of alarm signal that makes all the exits seal and the oxygen mask to come flying out of the ceiling.) The doctor (I'm sure acting in a CYA way, because the insurance folks breathe down her neck, but STILL) insisted I get a back x-ray to rule out degenerative disc disease (since I have seen the chiro for sciatica) and now I'm waiting for the x-ray folks to get the info to her and for her to decide if I'm enough of a non-cripple to actually work in a preschool. (My chiro snorted when I told him this. Actual snort -- it was awesome -- and told me not to worry.) But in the meantime, I am in limbo, unable to concretely plan anything because I need to wait for the verdict... sigh... Anyway, just bringing you up to date... :p
