I got word from my other old supervisor that my job called him and he gave me a favorable reference. I haven’t gotten a call rescinding my job offer yet so hopefully my first supervisor decided to give me a good reference too, or hopefully they cancel out. I will be nervous until I actually start training and can safely say I have the job. I have fingerprinting on Monday but there’s nothing in my background except a couple of speeding tickets years apart. The last time I got a ticket was nearly three years ago and it was because I was hypomanic, of course. I don’t even think the background check looks at minor driving concerns. So the next hurdle is the physical. My back was really hurting me today so I truly hope I can lift the 50lbs. I’m debating still about listing my psych meds on the intake form. On the one hand I don’t want them to find out and know I omitted the information but on the other hand I don’t want to be discriminated against, especially for the haldol. That happened to me last year for my work physical. The np told me I needed psychiatric clearance before she would clear me to work. I was infuriated. How discriminatory!
I’m just praying that everything works out with this new job. Then I will move onto the anxiety about a mood episode appearing and ruining it for me lol.
