New Job

I am going to be working at the High Point Police Department!! I had to leave my vacation and interview for this job. When I got the initial call I was disappointed that they were interviewing during our vacation, but I really wanted this job so I just drove home the night before the interview. The night before there was this huge thunderstorm and I was all alone. I got up early so that I would not be late and I actually couldn't remember if the interview started at 8 or 8:30. The paper that I had written that information on mysteriously disappeared from our counter. I put my nice new black suit on, with my fabulous pair of spanx on under, in order to fit into the pants. I got to the police station a few minutes before 8 and checked in. When the lady called me back I was surprised to see that not only was she conducting the interview, but the Captain of the department, too. We instantly hit it off when the Captain found out that I was vacationing in Surf City. He had spent the previous week a few doors down from the house I was staying in. He told me of a few good restaurants and that started us out on a good foot. The interview progressed well and at the end he asked me to step out for a minute and then Linda returned to give me a tour. As I was ushered back into the interview room the Captain was all smiles. He said that he was so impressed with my interview that they wanted to offer me a job on the spot. He further stated that in all of his years he had never hired anyone on the spot. I was shocked. He said he was very impressed that I had come back from my vacation to interview. I don't know who they have been interviewing, but I was thrilled. I have to undergo a formal background search that includes a polygraph test. I took my packet of paperwork and raced home to fill it out and make all the copies of the required information. When I made it back to the police station two hours had gone by and the Captain was out to lunch. Everyone was real friendly and they found someone to notarize my paperwork and I sat and waited for the Captain to come back. When he walked in he was so excited to see me and he was soooo apologetic for making me wait. I got my picture taken and my fingerprints done. He then told me that he was retiring in thirteen days. I was sad to hear that because he was so pumped to be hiring me, but he walked me out to my car and was just so thrilled that I came back with all my paperwork in order. I returned to the beach and today I met with my background investigator. He was very positive too!! I am so excited...I have never had anyone want me to work for them like these people, kinda makes me wonder what kind of people they have been interviewing. I will keep you posted on the progress of my background investigation. Oh, I forgot to add that I don't even know how much money I will be making. I think maybe I am crazy, but the job sounds like so much fun!
