The time both COVID and a hurricane messed up my plans a bit

 I started the process to get my practicum underway back in June. Already working for a government organization, I know how long it takes to get things underway and approved. I figured if I started in June with the paperwork, I would be able to start on or close to the start of semester. 

And that assumption was correct. Last week I received an email saying that all of my paperwork was in, signed, and correct (passed my first test, I know my name) and within 2-3 days I would be getting notification of making an appointment for fingerprinting, badging procedures, and, hopefully, computer access. 

Fingerprinting and badging is a go as of today....however, we just went through the edge of Hurricane Ida, and are currently under curfew and road conditions are questionable. So, the real nitty-gritty work will have to be postponed until around the end of this week or next week. I hope to be fully operational by the end of next week, though. Then my weekends and evenings will be full blast archival practicum!
