Waiting Game

It's funny, I was in the doctors office filling out paperwork this week. I was carefully filling out the boxes with my information. I came upon the box that said employment. I checked the box of unemployed. I've always checked the box of student. In my police interview, I told them I was unemployed.

It's weird. I've tried to justify it. I've been traveling, training, and completing the hiring process with the Phoenix Police Department.

Honestly, it would be silly to try and get a part time job because I'd just have to quit, with rather short notice.

I've passed the background investigation, background interview, polygraph test, and the physical fitness test. It feels pretty fucking good. I've been training for this the past 5 years. I've gotten two degrees just for this job. This is what I want to do. I've been working my ass off in the gym so that I could pass this physical fitness test.

It's exciting. But also nerve racking. It's frustrating. I'm hoping to get a conditional job offer within the next week, but it's all a waiting game. I don't know when my academy start date would be.

This waiting is killing me. I just want to know already.
