The past few months I've been obsessively checking my teaching license status with Oregon state Teacher Standards and Practices Commission. It's been one hoop after another that I've had to jump through. The most annoying being the fingerprinting process (apparently Oregon is very picky about evenly distributed ink on fingerprints, psh). Since the end of June it has said "We are not processing applications for this person at this time" when you search my name. Paranoid, I decided to call today. I explained my situation and after being put on hold for 5 minutes (WAY better than the four days of hold time I dealt with from Illinois last summer) the woman comes back to the phone and says, "I'll issue that today." I was shocked. A simple phone call! I am now licensed to teach in the state of Oregon! Whew!
Now...who wants to hire me?
