Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Can you get to a smaller town to get fingerprinted, Emily? I never had to wait, but that was years ago.

Job hunting combined with credentialing requirements crossed with NCLB compliance makes the baby Jesus cry. Or at least me.

Oh, there's tons of sites, it just bodes ill. Also, this was the one that was relatively nearby (and not in such a big town itself).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think those things make everyone cry. Even individually, often.

I'm not sure what the rush is, exactly. For the type of credential I'll be applying for, they're now processing applications received in November.

I'ma go crawl in a hole now.

Do you need the fingerprints for a job you're starting this m onth?

Need them to apply for credentialing which in theory I ought to have before I start work but obviously won't. I think it's possible to get the job and say that I've applied for the credential. But it would be better if I'd already taken the subject matter test. Except, hello, I wasn't here!

I guess we should all cross our fingers for private schools now.

Yeah, it's been sitting in my Amazon cart for a while, waiting for me to have a moment of weakness. But thanks!

In the interest of helping temptation along, it's available used here for about a quarter of Amazon's new book price.

There used to be (15 years ago) a lot of talk of emergency credentials and extensions of various kinds for teachers in high demand. Specifically math teachers. You may not be in as dire straits as you think.

You're fully credentialed in MA, right? You'd think that would count for something. Though i know California has some bizarre and nonsensical hiring restrictions.
