NonPerson

I am apparently a non person.

In order to be allowed to participate in a mentoring program at my daughter's school, I had to get a criminal records background check and a child-abuse-history background check. Neither one turned up anything. Granted, they don't put it in glowing terms - more like 'we looked up the probably fake name you gave us, and didn't find squat -- but still: nothing.

I'm a non-person - can you see me?

I recently had a criminal record check done as well, and I found their wording rather strange too. Something about using every variation of the given name to search for criminal activities and none were found. It kinda leaves a strange feeling hey?

Yeah, that pseudonym really works well, doesn't it, "Rach" ?
