August 24 How do you spell relief?I can spell relief many ways, but I got some serious relief today. I went to retake my polygraph and did really well! The examiner said that he would forward his report to Personnel today and I should hear from Personnel either Friday or Monday. The examiner said that he didn't see anything obvious or wrong with my test so by the way the spoke about it, I passed! I'm so grateful! I feel like I'm going home. Home to what I've really known... Law Enforcement and Public Safety. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE EMS but I got my start 10 years ago in Law Enforcement and I just can't seem to get it out of my system! I've worked in MANY different areas, including radio, but I've NEVER gone back to anything other than Law Enforcement. I'm totally thrilled and I hope that I'll now be able to start blogging back here on a regular basis. I want to thank those of you who have stuck by me and allowed me to go weeks without visiting you or even posting a blog. NOW I can do better! The way it works out now, I'll be able to begin work on September 11th. Kinda ironic to me, what do you think? Hugs to you all and Take care!!!! August 07 Oops, I have to do it againI got a call today from Headquarters. They need me to come in to do the polygraph again. I don't know if it was a computer problem or what, but if I'd failed it they wouldn't have called me back. Sooooo, I have to go back on the 24th and do it again. This means I'll have to take another day off work to drive over there (1 1/2 hrs one way). I tried to get it scheduled for next week when I'll be on vacation, but they were "booked up". Yawn!!!!! I can't say I'm thrilled about doing it over again, but at least I'm still up for the job. Ahh, hell, I've done it before, I can do it again. Take care! August 06 If my foot keeps tapping, it will fall off!This waiting is driving me nuts! Each day just fills me with more doubt that I've gotten the job. Hubby said that he thinks I'll get it, and even though most of the time he's right, I'm still worried. I've been praying that this would be my last week at this agency from Hell, but now I know that I'll have to be there at least another week (if I get the job) as I'll have to work through my 2 weeks notice. The thought of not getting this job and having to stay in my current position makes me nauseous and upset. I don't think I can describe the feeling but it's as though I'm fighting with someone who's trying to push me off of a cliff. I'm afraid of heights and falling so I'm fighting with all of my strength to survive but the agency/job/CA-RT is the other person trying to push me off of this cliff. I've been submerging myself in movies today to try and forget that I have to go back into the trenches tomorrow for the whole week. My saving grace is that I'll be off the following week. I haven't been too bored though. I was out at 10pm the other night painting the front porch. I don't have much more to paint before Hubby can screen it in for me. I've also been putting my stress to good use as I've been "Spring Cleaning" my house. Yes, dusting too! At least my house looks good and smells clean. I've been storing junk in the 2 spare rooms until I can either move them to my new job or put them in permanent storage. I hope that I'll be able to get back to some blog walking soon. Take care!!!! August 03 Waiting is the hardest part.I went to take my polygraph yesterday. I don't really know how I did. I think it
went well. I guess I'll just have to sit tight and wait to see what they say. I wasn't
nervous going into it, but they made me sit and wait for 2 1/2 hours before I took the
test. That really pissed me off. I figure, if I have an appointment at 9am, then they
be ready for me by that time. If I have to wait, then 9:30 at the latest. The more I
waited the more annoyed I became and I'm quite a patient person.
I realize that I'm on their time, but the point
is that hubby had to sit outside and wait! It was hot as hell (100 degrees) and he had
to find some shade to sit in and then after waiting 3 hours total, he had to get home
and go on a landscaping job. I'm so grateful for him, but I think he knows I was just as angry
as he was that these people made us wait so long. Since no one could tell me anything,
I'm stuck playing the waiting game to make sure I have the job and can turn in my notice.
If I don't get the job, I can't tell you how upset I'll be having to stay at this awful agency.
Pray for me that I get this job. Hubby said he thinks I've got the job, and I can only pray that I do.
Take care! |
