I like what I do for a living, but being relatively young and adventerous, I sent in a resume to the county of Henrico (home) here in Virginia when they posted an ad looking for police officers for their upcoming academy.

They asked me a few counter questions and did a quick background check and I have been offered/asked to take the entrance exam and the physical agility test, psych screening to be offered conditional employment (a spot at the academy). They sent me a big packet and all that stuff. Here is a quote:

Upon successful completion of the written exam, the physical agility test will be administered on the following date:

Saturday, April 12, 2008 0830 hours

If you live in Virginia, or any other state in the middle latitiudes of the US.... you should know exactly what April 12th is. It wouldn't have been a big deal if it was oh at 1530 (330 pm) hours.... but 0830 on opening day.... All I can say is I'd better have leather interior and satelite radio in my squad car if I decide to take the job.

Might as well make lemonade, the following saturday is my birthday... I'll get to hunt then anyway.
