   Wow! I talked to HR after I left from fingerprinting and the physical and she said that they would probably call me this week with an onboarding date. We talked about potential dates for me to start. The PA I saw for the physical said that the physic...

   They want me to give a 60 day out notice.......I'm trying to procrastinate right now. They say it's because they need to get someone in here so that I can get them trained. I know that they've been calling references today.

    Thanks! I am a mom to two kiddos (6&8 years old) so it would definitely eliminate after school and summer care ($$$$)
