the waiting game

everything went well with all the hoopla i had to do to prep for my new job... the polygraph was way better than what i was expecting... i had been told that they ask a lot of personal, potentially embarrassing questions... but there were none of those... and the facilitator told me i gave strong reactions, so my tests will be easy to read... it will be 3-5 weeks before they know the results, but the preliminary look indicated that i did well...

the psychological evaluation wasn't all that bad... it's just weird telling a total stranger about your personal life... lots of questions about my parents, and my relationship with each of them... lots of questions about my relationship with chris... lots of questions in general about how i view myself and life... the dr. should have at least had to buy me dinner... LOL... but it has made me think twice about seeing a therapist to help me deal with emotional stress better... i think i would just feel odd blurting everything out... so i'll just stick with talking to friends and family (as long as they're willing to listen, anyway)... but, anyway, the dr. gave me a clean bill of mental health, and said he saw no reason that i would not be able to do my job...

so now i wait... wait for more investigating (don't be surprised if you get a call... several of you readers were used as references)... waiting for test results to be in... the HR rep said it would probably be the september/october time frame before i begin working... so i guess i just have to be patient...

in other news... well, there is no other news... i guess that means it's time for bed...

Sounds like a new party game....hook your friends up to a polygraph and ask questions. Of course being the only thing on my mind is my future wife... I'll pass just fine

Oh my gawd, you are sane. That cannot be good when you are hanging around with the Dupin's/Koby's/Hagemeier's/Molina's and all those riff-raff!
