Grrrrrrrrr

I am so upset right now. I was just hired for a new position on Friday, I agreed to take it and notified my school, I am home now taking off days I will lose in transitioning to the new job. Anyway, the woman I did my final interview with last week asked me, "Are you entertaining any other offers? We'd like you to start within two weeks." She then offered me the job, I accepted. Today, I'm chillin' at home 'cause it's raining something awful out and I'm not going anywhere. I get a phone call asking me to come in for a "third interview" this coming Friday. WTF!? THIRD interview? Um, I have an offer of employment, I'm supposed to come in next week to do the W2, 401K transfer, all that good crap. On top of this, I was asked to bring in my graduate school transcripts. Now, I am lisenced. In order to be lisenced, one must have proof of completing gradute school and must have a minimum of 3.2 in all classes and 3.0 cumulative. If I have this lisence then that means, guess what? I've done all of those things. I'm slightly upset because at this moment, I feel as though games are being played with me. Am I wrong to feel this way? Am I reading more into the situation than need be?

I SURPASS the requirements for this position. The criteria was a BA or BS, 2 or more years experience working with children, preferably in a school environment. Familiarity with NYS social studies standards and compatibility with children. After the initial interview I was asked to provide 3 references. Now, I have 6+ years working with children as an educator. I have not one, but TWO Masters, I've started and run my own afterschool program, I provided reports, letters from parents and the outline of my program as well as it's charted prgress throughout all three school years I ran it. I am well versed in ALL NYS standards for elementary K-6. I provided FIVE references which all checked out and were impeccable. I provided evaluations of lessons, my overal teacher evaluations, results from my student's test scores (which were all significantly higher AFTER being with me for a school year). And dare I say, I'm pretty darn charismatic as noted by both interviewers. SO, WTF gives?! I'm not sure but, I'm none too happy about this. Not in the least. So, I'll go to their crappy third interview (!). But something tells me I'm having to fill the Black requirements. :(
