The HIVE knows when you are sleeping.

I really don't know. I think there are plenty of opportunities to advance and really get to a position of some influence. If I ever do run for office (something else that has had my attention since high school, and especially since my father has some pull), both the police work and surveillance work would be a huge bonus.

Well, finding something that has potential to fork to other possibilities is always a good thing.

Well, that's it for me... must be able to wake up tomorrow to pick up the donuts and bacon tomorrow before game time...

Background-

My father wanted to be a NYC police officer but since he was in his 30's with a family they turned him down. Family moved to Vermont in the 60's. Became a constable in 71'.

Gained a lot of recognizion within the state and even somewhat larger scales with his youth prevention programs and ideas. Worked closely with DA and sherrifs office in both Vermont and NY.

"Retired" in 1986. Became restless. Mother talked me into running for the office with him since he would not do so otherwise. Both of us won by a landslide.

After the year was up I finished college.

Looked really good in my resumes and the such.

Course- the truth is I was a glorified rent-a-cop. Dealt briefly with FBI (used us more like) and learned far more about the town's citizens than I ever wanted to know.

Everyone knew me and I could befriend very few. Many people here (Vermont in general) don't like law enforcement agents. Made life hell for me in High School.
 


I am so freaking tired. I'm not sure why. I can't wait to get home and to bed.

Today is my last day of formal training. Monday I'm expected to do the job on my own. Luckily there are others here that can help if I need it.
 

Morning HIVE just making sure that more than 12 hours doesn't pass with out a post.


Anyways the closest I've gotten to a career in Law Enforcement/Security/Military was when I mistakenly decided not to turn in an recruitment application for the CIA. Now that I look back on it, I've always wanted to know what would have happened if I did fill it out and sent it. :< What sucks is that I decided not to send it in because at the time I naively thought that my brothers being gang members with prior drug convictions and an uncle that my uncle having ties to the Mexican Socialist party (and possibly mob ties) would have effected my standing. Of course it doesn't help that I didn't want to force everyone I know and reference to go through a Government inquiry as part of the background check...

But I still often wonder, if I did get accepted into the CIA, where would I have been on 911. If I would have been asleep at home (like I was), in the West Coast's Regional HQ, the Pentagon, or elsewhere in the world.. and if I would have been among the few operatives who knew something was about to happen but was unaware of the specifics.

So I called up the group this morning. Thankfully they all agreed to come over tomorrow. So yay, I get to game. True20! :cool:

And today I'm going out to see Ghost Town with the gf. :cool:
 

My neighbors got married in their back yard today. It was pirated themed so everyone was dressed as pirates. The stage they built looks like a boat now.
