Getting Cleared for Take Off.....

Well, let me just sit down and catch my breath!! I finally got a real job offer!! A whole 2 months after applying via the Internet for this Word Processing job at a well-known law college here, they sent me a letter saying they wanted to interview me. Well, whaddya know. Maybe the revisions on my resume are finally doing some good, after all.
Had to fill out numerous forms, etc. and went for the interview. I felt I did well, but then you never know at the time. A whole 2 weeks passed with no news, which had me sitting on the edge of my seat. But just last week they called to make me a permanent job offer!
Well, I know I should be jumping up and down, but for some reason, I am feeling sort of ambivalent about it right now. It's not as much pay as I wanted to get, but then they have excellent benefits, which I sorely need. But what choices do I have at this point! It's just that schools and educational facilities do not pay as much as the private sector law firms. But it's probably also because I have been looking for work for so long, that I won't believe it til I turn up for work there.
Today, I received MORE paperwork from them and instructions to go get FINGERPRINTED!! Does 'Juan Lopez', the illegal immigrant have to go through this much scrutiny??!! God, forbid, my fingerprints are on file for some reason! Next thing, they'll probably have me going through a strip search on COPS.....!
So tomorrow, I have to run down on my lunch hour (another 'peaceful' lunch hour down the drain..) and go get fingerprinted!
Hmmmm... I wonder if my sliced finger will fingerprint well.....?!
