Alibidale

For the past few weeks my background has been getting extensively checked by a subsidiary of a multinational that suffered a major data breach a few years back. Yay...

I received the report today in the form of an email saying I had multiple court conviction disclosures that I had an opportunity to appeal before my background was exposed to those who had requested it.

This seemed funny, so I checked the report to see what in my sheltered, suburban life would be considered a disclosable offence and I found some serious driving offences committed in Western Australia in 2010 and 2011.

I don't recall these offences, on account of I never committed them or even visited WA since 2007. So I disputed, and I was asked to provide supporting information. This seemed tricky. How to provide supporting evidence to prove a negative?

Fortunately, I did journal both the listed dates. In 2011 I was in Hurstville, after working in North Ryde and catching the train home. I listened to Banana Split by Mochipet. My Last.FM Scrobbles from that day will corroborate this.

My post from 2010 may not ultimately help my cause...
