[QUOTE="klmno, post: 406626, member: 3699"] I've been working for him for several months, yeah. But I'm coming to learn that this private company just isn't on the ball the way they should be- which is another reason I was a whole lot more comfortable getting my questions answered by someone "in the system", so to speak. Today, I get emails (several) from secretary of private company (owner's daughter, no less) saying she's my designated security officer and I don't already have a clearance and she can't get access to any online file for me because I didn't have one in the system anymore so I have to start all over just like everyone else. That came in bits in pieces, thru several emails, so I figure boss emailed her going off and twisting around why I went to security officer here. (I've heard him call and complain about others and twist things around a great deal so I wouldn't put this past him) Anyway, I nicely emailed her back and told her maybe I had been misinformed, I'll use the PW she gave me and go from there. Mind you, it was only a new password I needed anyway. And WHAMMO! I put the PW in and there are my OWN security questions that no one but me could have written, proving that my info was still in there and of course, it was. So I updated what I could from work then will finish as soon as I can locate my bankruptcy papers and get 1 or 2 references from this location and I'll be done. LOL! When all info sstarted showing up, I said "oh look, Boss, it really IS there!" (Much to his amazement.) Geez. He seems to be worried quite a bit about this clearance issue- for himself and some other people, too. I have been upfront with people so I don't have any anticipated surprises, whether it's approved or not. Actually, the secretary did do a nice thing for me- she looked to see what the outcome of last investigation said and it didn't say "denied" or unfavorable; it said dropped and transferred. That might be how they chose to log it in because at the time, I was weighing filing for BK with the odds of difficult child being released early and being allowed to leave state with me but PO held things up so long, I gave up and didn't get back to the security people there. I assumed they would have logged it in as denied because it wouldn't be approved without me taking action to address debt/credit problem, according to them. I can't help but wonder what will happen if it turns out that I'm approved this time but boss isn't. He doesn't have one right now either. A few people are sweating it and I think they might end up blowing it because they've never applied for one before and are listening to somewhat inexperienced people in this area and they very well might think they can hide or minimize previous issues. It's much better to be honest about it but I'm not so sure they will be. Boss wasn't too bad today but client's rep was there and boss won't flip out on me much when the rep is there.
