Well, the papers are in, and the fees paid ... I ought to receive a license Monday.
My first attempt to post bond failed ... because the paperwork was handwritten, and not typed. That is, the agent filled in the blanks on the board-supplied form by hand, rather than typing. Bureaucracy in inaction.
I still have hoops to jump through with the city and the state.
I am -temporarily- without workmans' comp. lacking employees, I am not REQUIRED to have it ... so I signed the waiver just to get the paper moving on the license. I am actively seeking a carrier. The eagerness of some agents is beginning to scare me.
