Car 54 where are you?

So it's been one of those lazy Saturdays because it's been raining since like Thursday. I say lazy and I'm only speaking for myself and Alyssa as Holly is working like a dog finishing the fiscal year with Mary Kay. I took the opportunity knowing that everyone was indoors to let Alyssa go play at her grandparents while I went to the gym and shook off the sloth in me when really it's suppose to be my day off since I go there 5 times a week already.

Some good news came in on Wed. morning. I received a call from the U of I Police Department and was given a preliminary offer of employment. I was really hoping I'd get the job here due to the work and social environment as well as the great benefits. I'm now completing my 2nd of 3 rides I'm slated to do with Field Training Officers before the final word is given. Tonight is one of those rides and if it weren't for the thunderstorm outside I'd say it would be pretty exciting, but I have a feeling it will be the opposite. September would be when I attend the Police Training Institute which is equivalent to Police Academy and it's where all agencies send their new officers. At that point we will begin the process for moving out and into our own place. Exciting to say the least!
