The OLD FiReCrAcKeR

Wow. So about ten minutes ago I recieved a phone call...

:::ring:::

me: hello?
person: hi, this is Sgt. Walker with the VCU police department
me: hello Sgt. Walker
Sgt. Walker: I was just calling to tell you that you have been selected for the final hire interview. This means that I am offering you a job with our department. Congratulations! When can you come in for the paperwork interview? I have these times open...
Me: I appreciate all the time and effort that your department has put forward in reviewing my application, but I just accepted another position and I am going to respectfully decline your offer.
Sgt. Walker: What department are you working at?
Me: The City of Harrisonburg
Sgt Walker: As an officer?
Me: No, as a dispatcher.
Sgt. Walker: oh.
Me: But I sincerely thank you for your interest and the time you spent reviewing my application.
Sgt. Walker: Well I wish you the best in your new position
Me: Thank you again
Sgt. Walker: bye
me: bye

Then I just sat there. What did I just do? Isn't that what I had waited all school year to hear?

Yeah. It was. It really really was...

But, it is that, and exactly that. It's what I had wanted all year. But what if what you wanted turned out to be not what you want, and then what you thought you didn't want turned out to be exactly what you wanted in the first place. It's life, it's fate, it's not really totally under your control. But I know for a fact that I will be happier here. I know for a fact I didn't want to work with that department anyways.

I know for a fact I just turned down a full time job with benefits for my part time job without benefits. :-/

Hopefully I can go full time at some point... sooner than later... because I can't afford to pay for my own health insurance. :-/


Anyways... just thought I'd share that turning point in my life with you all.


And... randomness. I got to shoot my gun for the first time last night with mike. It was pretty kickass! And then i had an internal debate with myself if a plant was poison or not... didn't think too much about it since i had to pee... and that was bad. I probably should have thought more... my ankles have all these little bumps on them!
(note to self...)

Also, a few more people have talked to me about living with me. I think we found a place too, it's in Beacon Hill right when you enter. 174 Emerson. So there's probably a good possibility that that's where me (and whomever i live with) will be!

So. I think it's back to cleaning a little more and doing some work. I'll probably be drinking beer later and what not. If you're still here, IM or call me!
