Open letter to bureaucrats
What more do you want from me? I emptied my savings account for you, I took your stupid little tests, I hounded old college professors and neighbors to vouch for my moral character, I passed your stupid bar exam, and I went to your little swearing-in ceremony to which I apparently could have sent any female I knew, since you weren't checking IDs or even checking to ensure that everyone there verbally swore to the oath.
So why haven't you listed me yet as an active attorney? Haven't I waited long enough? I just want a goddamn bar number! I mean, everything was completely, one hundred percent done on Tuesday.
It's never enough with these people.

Get this: our swear-in soiree isn't until Thursday afternoon. And my next round of bar applications (speaking of never enough!) is due at the court clerk's office on Friday. Even though I can hand-deliver it myself, no way will I be able to provide the required proof of my good standing in Other Jurisdictions within 24 hours.
JCA,
I'm sure you can just write in that the certificate is not available yet because you weren't sworn in to CA until x date.
That's the plan. But it lacks warm fuzzies.
I think the website says it takes 1-2 weeks after receiving your card to get your bar number.
The whole bar process lacks warm fuzzies. I think they're trying to remind us we've lost our souls. "No warm fuzzies for you!"
anon -- NOOOOO!!! Dammit, I want a damn bar number! My friend Sarah got hers in less than a week after turning in her card. I'm checking the site for my name every few hours. I have waited long ENOUGH, dammit! :)
