Finally! Gots me a Job!

Post by Old Ironsights »

After 9 YEARS of being told either "You are Overeduacted" or "You are Under Qualified" (or both :roll: ) I finally got a conditional job offer.

The condition is that I go to school for 10 weeks (paid) and pass a Physical (no problem).

The other condition is that I move out of Chicagoland and back to Wyoming (yay!)

BUT... that means I gotta get some scratch. SO, I gots stuff to sell over in Classifieds.

C'mon & help a guy get out of Emperor Dayley's Obamaland eh? :mrgreen:

State of Wyoming. Department of Corrections.

First off learning the "system" and getting the "experience" under my belt - the lack of which prevented me from successfully applying for a Training position that actually fit/required my Degree...

After I get the "experience" in Corrections then we will see what happens. 8)

Well, if you have to learn the ropes of how a prison works, it's probably better to do in Wyoming than in Illianois or whatever.
You would think thay Wyoming would not be as crowded or have the institutionalized gang cultures as the large urban areas.

Congratulations on the position. Glad you got it. I'm not jealous at all, cos once you get there you can be my eyes and scope out some houses and things for us.

I'll miss the IN get togethers though. :cry:
