Congrats Carolyn!  Best of luck with the certification stuff...you might want to ask if they'd just be okay with a transcript which is usually easier to come by...

Yay Carolyn! Hope it all sorts itself out.

Thanks all!  The first day went fine -- they said to bring in my univ degree certificate as soon as I can chase up a duplicate copy.  It's *definitely* a whole different work culture over here ;D ;D ;D -- I'm starting mid-July & I get 10 days holiday already (pro rated) for the rest of this calendar year.  The other thing -- they have certain 'core hours' that I have to be at the office each day, which are 10-12 and 2-4 (if I recall correctly), other than that -- I get to set my own schedule (arriving, leaving, lunch break) as long as I work my 7 hours/day (35 per week) but not more than 10 hours/day (no more than 14 hours OT in a month for which I get comp days the following month).  How cool is that?!?!
