This has been an extremely interesting day! About three months ago I applied for a job over at the Ford County Sheriff’s office in the records office. I went through the interview process and then never heard anything for a long time, so figured that was a bust.
Well, a few weeks ago they called me and asked if I was still interested in the job. SURE! Then began a background search. That thing was DETAILED! They had found where I’d gone to court when I was maybe 15 yrs old. (That was a long, long, long, long time ago!)
After passing this background test I had to go in (today) and take a lie detector test. This is so cool! I admit, it doesn’t take a whole lot to entertain me. It wasn’t near as detailed as it looks on all those crime/drama shows, but still it was a kick.
Starting next week I’ll have a new job. Well, I’m keeping a few days of the waitressing gig cuz it’s hard to give up cash in my pocket when I leave there at night. But the new job pays nice, has paid vacation, paid insurance, retirement… it’s like I’ve growed up and became an adult! Ok, you all know me too well. That’ll never happen. ha ha

Hey, congrats! Sounds like you had too much fun with that lie detector test, ha ha. So do you have to memorize all the police codes and everything? Plus now you’ll know everybody that gets pulled over or arrested. You can get dirt on ANYBODY! Ha ha.

I don’t know all that many people. Won’t that be uncomfortable if someone I DO KNOW gets busted. I’ll know, they’ll know that I know…awkward!! Thank goodness I am blessed with a short short-term-memory!
