Howdy fellas, Kali checking in (beat ya, Mike! 
) Where is everyone tonight? 
Umm..... good luck with that, peppy. 
Oh, in case anyone's wondering, that test I had on Monday, for the police dispatcher job, went pretty well (I think). There were about 8 people there, including myself (one other male, rest were women.... I was the youngest there, too)
It wasn't too tough - what made it hard was the time restriction - some parts went so fast it just wasn't possible to answer all the questions. Plus, they deduct for wrong answers, like the SAT
The hardest part was when they read off these strings of random letter/number combinations, that you had to pick out of a humongous list and circle which ones were read - they were usually 3-4 letter/number combos, but as they increased the speed, the tape was saying them so fast it sounded like one long string of numbers/letters.... real tough to distinguish - plus, the ones in each row of the list we picked from were all alike, as in pq1 lpc 1qp etc... so yes, that was pretty tough.
I think we hear about the results sometime next week, so I'll let y'all know, if you're interested.

Ryan, I can say its been an odd ride. 
Dispatching is a fun job. Events will sometimes get to you. Bad mojo on occassion.
When the days over, its over. One event at a time. No projects and stuff to concern you as you try and sleep. No worries about how things are going when your on vacation. Its a good deal. If your an actual state, county or city employee, you even get the sweet benefits.
