PISD has been to the gym
...and is still flexing its muscles.
The upshot is that I have to get my fingerprints done for $500 to renew my permit. Secondly, I have to convince UH to grant me an "exception" and count that class for one of my deficiency plan classes. If UH refuses, HRguy says, "We'll just have to see if I decide to let it slide." If they agree to grant the exception, I will need to be accepted to Region 4's alternative program, which is basically "certification on speed." I have no other choices in certification, so this is my last chance. The cost is $10k, garnished from my wages--5k for the classes and 5k to pay for the mentor who stands over me everyday in class next year. This doesn't count the cost of the test I have to take. I've already applied, so we'll see. When I asked HRguy what happens if I don't get into the program, worst case scenario, he said, "Well, I would just have to review your case and make a decision at that time as to what to do and whether I'm going to let you slide." That's his answer for everything. So basically, it boils down to HR guy has my ovaries in his hands, and he wants me to know it. They were sweet as sucralose in the meeting because my boss was present. It was disgusting. I can't even think about how I have to spend $10,500 on something I don't even want to do, but I'm stuck now.
On the plus side, the Who will direct your life story test says that Woody Allen will direct mine, so I guess that counts for something.
