Kind of realized why I'm reluctant to circulate my profile/resume.

[Critters2]

I've been wanting to get back to a smaller town, more rural area for some time. Wanting to get away from this particular community. But I keep hesitating. I've been e-mailing with my sponsor about it, and what I think is that I'm nervous about the fact that now they do background checks. I think they're just criminal checks, which shouldn't be a problem for me. I've had 1 speeding ticket and one ticket for driving with expired insurance--and that last one a judge threw out when I went to traffic court and proved that I really had insurance, but had given the officer the old card. I've been cleared through background checks to be a chaperone with kids going to National Youth Event, and I've been cleared by the state to do counseling in jails and prisons.

But I'm afraid they'll do a credit check. My credit isn't horribly bad. I've never had trouble getting what few loans I've had. But I can't get my damn FICO score up where I'd like it for some reason, and I do tend to get busy and over look bills from time to time. Nothing's ever been turned off or repo'd. Not even close. But those things do affect credit.

Now, my ACM says she thinks they only do the criminal thing, not credit. Still, I'm worried about what churches will think of me if they do. I'm a wee bit irresponsible with my own bills, but SUPER careful about things concerning the church. But they have no way of knowing that.

So, I guess I need to just be better about paying bills on time and what not. In general, I need to be better organized.

And I have no idea why I shared so much here, but there you are.

I think I need a nap.
