This is Nate.
I'm home tonight since we were having a slow night at Mix. I kept reminding my manager that IF he needed to cut anyone I'd be GLAD to sacrifice my hours to help HIM lower his staffing levels and payroll :) It worked after a couple hours and I'm home tonight. Anywho.... I was about to go back up after my break and my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number and so I almost didn't answer it. I don't know why, but I answered it anyway, not because I expected it to be a phone call I've been expecting/hoping for for days now, but just cause I figured I had a minute to answer it. It was NLV's HR!! I couldn't believe it! They were calling to schedule me for a physical and psych test. Everything I've heard and everyone I've talked to have said that that's pretty much the last hoop they make you jump through and if I pass that, I'm pretty much in the academy. Here's the catch and why I'm cautiously optimistic even with this seemingly good news: Going back to everything I've heard and been told is that this particular phone call from HR to schedule the tests is made after and only after it's been decided that you're up to muster and accordingly, have passed the Chief Review..... theVERY Chief Review that was supposed to happen on the 9th.... the Review that has been postponed till the 22nd. So I'm trying to figure out how and why it is that HR is calling me to schedule these tests when I haven't officially passed the long-anticipated Review O' El Chief.
So here I am. I'm all set to wait another 3 weeks for good or bad news, when along comes unexpected, good news from right field kinda throwing me for a loop. I'm sitting here scratching my head, not completely sure if I should be excited or if I should call HR back and ask them if they realize I haven't officially passed the Review (which could potentially do more harm than good... so that won't be happening.)
For being such a potentially great thing, I'm feeling a little unsure of what to feel at this point. Weird.

I say leave well enough alone, get the physical and keep those fingers crossed!
Oh yeah I would be stoked if I were you! I don’t think HR would waist their time if you weren't in. Sorry I shouldn't talk like that..GOOD LUCK! It does sound very promising! Just fill the next 3 weeks with lovin that new baby boy of yours! I'm sure he'll help the time go by!
I agree with jerolyn. Dont be like me and call and tattle on yourself and then get pissed when things go on the downward spiral. Hurry up and get to the academy so you can come patrol my neighborhood in good ol' NLV. Although it is a nice area, a friendly cop every now and then would be nice so they can catch the thieves that stole my trash can and SOME of the contents. Im keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you so you think you can put a "rush order" on it because this kind of hurts....
WAHOOOOOOO!!! I'm taking it for GREAT news, and I'm totally excited for you. I'm thinking maybe they really did do the Review, and you're in, but they'll have the RESULTS of your psych and physical test by the 22nd so they can give you a fo sho answer....unless, of course, they discover that you're not quite right in the head. :-)
Oh, you're SO in! I just feel it. But, we'll wait and see for sure. Love you!
Good Luck Stacy with the baby!!! I'm sure he will be beautiful! Hope all goes well!
DO NOT CALL HR!!!! Go take the test. It's a crappy process, but it is worth it. Once you are in all this stuff will be forgotten, trust me!
