Hello I got a confirmation from HR at Shell that I have been selected for a role and there will be background checks before joining the company. He said the mail will come from a 3rd party vendor for the background verification. It has been 1 week and there has been no mails till now. Is it normal? Should I follow up with the HR again?

Hopelessness.
Years ago I worked on a campaign with a famous musician that I was a huge fan of. I was a midlevel art director at the time, went on the shooting and the guy was really approachable and nice so I told him how much of a fan I was, we chatted a lot and he told me to email his manager my address so he could send me some merch and I gave him the agency address because my apartment wasn’t really reliable to get stuff.
A couple weeks later a huge box shows up at the agency and it was a SIGNED FENDER and a few posters and tshirts, however the box didn’t have my name on it, and the CCO on a major asshole move hanged up the guitar on his office saying it was a gift to the agency.
Now I had a very similar cheap squier that I had with me at the agency because sometimes I’d go practice with my band right around the corner.
So I got a fender decal online, removed the squier one, faked the autograph and got the fender home .
I didn’t steal it actually, it was originally mine. I’m only saying this now because everyone from back them are now working elsewhere and the CCO retired from advertising.
I love your pirate style correction!!! 👏
