1st Day of In~Service

I'm floored by how LAID BACK/relaxed it was. We're getting spoiled because we had at least 3 "15min" breaks AND an hour and 1/2 lunch. WHOA...it's NOT going to be like that in the jail. In fact, there might be crazy days that we either can only scarf or NOT get a break at all. It's cool. I'm expecting it. And if it's that busy/crazy, then it *almost* has to mean that the day will fly by.

We thought the 1st step of in~service would be 3 weeks. It's sounding like it's going to be more like only 2. That's fine. All I care about is that Academy is AT LEAST another 6 months away. I'm hoping, because I'm DESPERATE for TIME so I can get in shape. I gotta do so many push ups, running, sit ups. I can't do any of that right now. I MUST get a physical to #1: use the gym #2: get my disability & #3: get into academy. Another reason I need 6 months. How do I schedule that stuff when I'm working all day?

Another 2 things about the first 90hrs: #1: HANDCUFFS NEXT WEEK!!!! We're getting trained in that! #2: PEPPER SPRAY!!!! We MIGHT get sprayed before we get into the jail. OMG THE PAIN!!!!

Wouldn't it be nice if I started off on NIGHTS in the jail? That would free me up to go to the clinic for the physical.

I NEED a pair of cuffs and a maglite~ and the holders for them. It'd be lovely if a FRIIIIEND would loan me something like this until I get paid. I mean, I get paid on the 3rd. It's literally a day late & a dollar short. Maybe I can get a payday loan??? I'll attempt that. It'll have to be AFTER work on day. We get off @ 4pm and I get home BEFORE 4:30. I've got 2hrs to get to ACE. I digress because this is rambling...

12 hour days. I'll have to get use to that real quick. But I think I'm capable of that as long as the days are interesting. I feel secure with how I'll handle the inmates. Just write 'em up everytime they try to get out of hand.

Before I say too much, I'll end this. I'll be hitting the sack around 10pm. Kinda tired
