I got a call!

I'm trying not to get my hopes up, and I'm sure I'm jinxing myself, but I need to let this out. I got home from picking my wife up at the airport (after having a "confrontation" in the parking lot which almost turned into fisticuffs, so I wasn't in the best of moods), and on the answering machine I had a message from the recruting dept at York Regional Police! I was hoping to get to the gym tomorrow, but it's 11:30 and I'm still wide awake. I'm supposed to call them tomorrow, so by the time most of you read this, I'll probably be either REALLY nervous, or really bummed!

Fri Jan 21. I shouldn't have called from work...I can't dance while I'm on the floor, might raise suspicions! The hard part is going to be explaining why I am in such a good mood all of a sudden!

a poem....Ode to Schwinn....ahem....

There once was a cool dude named Schwinn,
Who really tried hard to get in
With other police, to help crime decrease;
He did it! And can't help but grin

So, off to cop school he goes;
Stop dancing! Get down off your toes!!
You have to stay put, to be a flatfoot,
And you'll be great, as everyone knows!!

:king:

Congratulations and good luck!

You have no idea how honoured I am. I've never been oded before!!

Thanks, everyone. If things go right, I believe that there'll be another interview in late Feb early March, and if that goes right, hopefully I'll be carrying a gun and driving fast...I mean, keeping the peace in April!

Those are the things you might want to avoid saying in your interview pretend that there is no little man in your head saying lets go for ice cream either.

Thumbs up

Way to go, Schwinn!

Hey, if we all put "pets.ca" bumper stickers on our cars, will you point the radar gun in the other direction? (kidding, kidding!!)

Good luck in your interview! We're all rooting for you!

So does this mean we have to send you donuts for holidays? Do Canadian cops eat donuts or is that an American thing?

Trust me, I've thought about that. If I have a daughter, I want the guys who come around to remember one thing...her daddy carries a gun.

And I'm sure that I'll keep my Pets.ca family in mind while I'm out there
