For all of you that don't know, I got hired with Park City about 3 months ago. I went through an In-service academy with them for two months.
Due to budget reasons,(Thier fiscal year ended the end of June) they didn't have us take our psych tests until after the in-service academy. Well, my test came back "inconclusive" and they suspended me. They allowed me the option of retaking the test, but I would have to pay for it myself.
Well, ofcourse I did. Two weeks ago today. I have been dying to find out if I passed. I love it up in Park City. It is great. If you don't know Park City, it is a resort town for skiing. Alot of the 2002 Olympic events were held there, and Robert Redford's Sundance film festival is also held there.
Well, anyway, I got a call a little while ago from my Sgt. and he said "The chief has approved my hire" WOO HOO!!!!! I am so happy.
Now, this is only a reserve posistion, but the reserves up there are different than a lot of other places. We get paid $10 an hour and after FTO, we are allowed to patrol on our own. They even have two vehicles just for the reserves.
Anyway as you can tell from my ranting, I am way happy. I get sworn in tomorrow and have my first shift as a reserve.
