So, as some of you know and some of you don't, I have now finally gotten to the point where I am ready to start my internship to become a real estate appraiser. As part of the application, you have to get fingerprinted. The Real Estate Division says you have to have it done on cards provided by them. I call and ask and they said they would get some in the mail to me that day. Nope. I waited for a week and they did not come. So I just decided instead of calling again and hoping maybe the next person would *actually* mail them, I just drove to Carson City and picked up the cards myself. I sent in my application the first time on August 22nd, and they received it August 25th. On August 29th I got my application sent back to me beause the background investigation fee is no longer $45, now it is $51.25. The application I filled out said $45, but a bulletin posted elsewhere on the site said $51.25. Uhm, yah, couldn't someone have corrected that? I wrote a new check and went to a post office open late so my application could be back in the mail the same day. They recieved my application back on September 2nd So I spend most of September waiting and hoping and check the RE Division website to see if my license is in their system yet. Then comes September 25: - I got some certified mail yesterday address to Christy (correct last name) from the State of Nevada. Uhm, alrighty then. So I went to the post office the next morning (Sept 26) to pick it up, greatly hoping my license was inside. No such luck. - They sent me back my finger print cards because it says I did not make out my check to the Department of Health and Wellbeing and Blah Blah Blah. What?!?!?! It said before to make out my check to the Nevada Highway Patrol. There is a page attached with the letter from whoever was running my fingerprints with a stamp that says "no personal check attached." Yes, a personal check is attached, but apparently I must have forgot the bribe money or something. - The letter that the State sent to tell me this is addresed to Christine (correct last name). Why do all these government places in Carson City think my name is Christine?!!?! (I also had this problem with Western Nevada Community College) I do not understand. My name never has been and never will be Christine. If I was going to change my name to anything else it would be Genevieve. - So I go and get a money order since I used up my book of checks and have no idea where the unused blank ones are and apparently the check I wrote is inadequate. It was a good thing I did. - I decide that I will drive to Carson City and hand them back my stuff in person so they can verify that everything is correct because I do not want it sent back to me a third time. - I get there and I tell the guy working at the front desk what is wrong. I said, "So when did you change it from writing checks to the Nevada Highway Partol to the Department of Health and Wellbeing (or whatever it is called). He said, "Oh, they are the same thing, they just don't take personal checks."  Are you kidding me?!?! The stamp says that I didn't attach a personal check. Why would they even get a stamp that mentions personal checks if they don't take them?!?!?!  Why not order a stamp that says "We don't take personal checks, please send a money order." - My name in the system does in fact say Christine. The guy who was there changed it in the system and then turned the monitor around to show me that he corrected it. - Soooooooooooooooooooo, maybe in another couple weeks they will send me a license and not some part of my application rejected for another ridiculous reason. If not, I think I may have to strangle someone.    |
