I finally heard back from the school lady (I'm a bit concerned with how many times I've had to follow up), and she fixed the issues with the enrolment paperwork, which I've now signed!
For some classic bureaucracy related reasons, they need a photocopy of a guardians personal identification. Probably going to be a difficult thing to obtain when my guardian is the secretary of DFFH. But as of now, that's no longer a me problem, that's something they'll all have to work out together.
It's....
A non issue though, as I've been through this process dozens of times. Usually they just provide a copy of my court order and a stat dec and it's all g. But it's worth noting if you ever decide to run an organisation and impose restrictions you can't possibly foresee anybody not being able to meet, you'll eventually meet somebody you'll have to make an exception for 🤷♂️
Enrolment bonanza day! Mine got processed today, after running around realising I had the wrong email address, then the process had changed from last year and a bunch of manual stuff was required... I'm in nowhere near the same situation as you but somehow throughout all my schooling years I've ended up needing all sorts of exemptions and it's taught me a lot about patience when dealing with bureaucracy.
I'm glad the wheels are turning in your favour!
Oh, that's great news. Congrats KJ!
In a way, I'm kind of glad for some of the bureaucracy I've had to deal with. It would be a lot more difficult to navigate the byzantine systems every organisation even remotely involved with the government seems to be obsessed with if I didn't have years of experience already!
(New resumé skill? 👀)
In all seriousness, that is a resume skill! (Process oriented, attention to detail, familiarity with complex multi-stakeholder systems etc)
I currently have jobs that are very heavy on bureaucracy (one in the org itself, the other due to client requirements) and being used to working with it and learning how they think has been a real boon. It makes some parts of the job a lot less stressful than they would be otherwise and also makes me more likely to pick up stuff that others won't
