Have you sent in your application to the police academy?
Not yet no. I need to get a new application from the place I got one before and then get an application from two others and send them in. My old app that I have has all my old information on it and I need to put my current stuff.
But I am going to academy with a friend and we are going to apply same time. He could be a cop right now that's how much he puts into learning everything and how serious and mature he is about it.
Warning!! Red light. Red light. Red light. When a superior (that's the woman you nanny for) tells you they "enjoyed" a conversation it is seldom a good thing for the underling (that's you). Saying they "enjoyed it" is the equivalent of patting you on the head and telling you to run along.
Her saying she enjoyed your conversation doesn't really say anything....what was her response to changing how things are done? Nothing?
No she told me that she wants me to write up a schedule and we'll see what works.
She was talking about working me this weekend but I told her I have BBB and I don't have any time to do much anything else work wise this weekend, it would be too much with how late I have to work tomorrow. I do not want to be up at 7am when I am going to be at BBB till midnight tomorrow night.
When I am going to academy I will not be nannying anymore.
At least at police academy it'll be scheduled. Those days, those times for 11 months, my BBB shift will be those days those times for 11 months. No surprises, no last minute whatevers, if BBB calls me and I have academy, I can decline.
It's not the type or amount of work that bothers me, its the inconsistent schedules and last minute drop what you are doing no one cares if you are busy type of stuff.
Sweeping, folding laundry, cleaning a kitchen is not hard and I am damn good at it, its the fact that while I am doing that at times I wasn't scheduled to be doing it, I could be doing what I need to do but instead it gets neglected.
Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I have to be ready and at my friends house by 1230 or 130(if I work at 3 or later), to pick her up and drop her off at work and then go to work myself. When I get off of work, I have to head over and pick her up and take her home. (She literally works right at the gas station RIGHT in front of my work....I could hit it with a baseball.) And yes I HAVE to, she works 5.1 miles from her house and I literally am the ONLY person who can make themselves available during that time to take her, otherwise she would walk 5.1 miles in the middle of December, I just can't live with myself, I feel horrible when I can't help her.
My bitchfest isn't about oh woe is me I have to do work...my bitchfest is that I need a set schedule and need to have time to do my things as well because after BBB and nannying I have no time to do things I need to.
A schedule, some notice and like understanding would be nice.
She doesn't work and if I work till midnight the night before there is no reason she NEEDS to schedule me at 8am, my other start time is 10am and would be more reasonable and caring to give me.
ANYWHO....I talked to her today and let her know some of my concerns, I think this might just turn around.
You are assuming you are getting in txt that depends on a lot of factors.
Should I just tell everyone that ALL their ideas will work for me?
I know what I want, I just don't know how to get it sometimes.
I'm not asking for luxury time, I am asking for time to get my necessities done.
And I talked to the wife tonight, she texted me afterwards and told me she enjoyed our conversation but I told her about how I really would enjoy a set schedule and some consistency and if things came up I would take them as they came but small stuff like stopping my world for laundry and everything was a little much. I told her it made me anxious and stressed to never be able to plan anything or do anything because I never know when I am going to be working.
I haven't hit on separating my line or the car insurance I will take this bit by bit.
The academy is a full time job essentially...you have a lot of at home study you need to do and it's not a cake walk.

I am aware.
Luckily I have already had two years of exposure to EVERYTHING I will learn at police academy, I have even been to a mock academy for 19 weeks for explorers and learned the same stuff I would in a real academy, I KNOW I can make it through to be a cop.
But I am going to academy with a friend and we are going to apply same time.
DO NOT DO THAT!!
This is not a Gemini space launch. DO NOT apply with a friend and DO NOT plan on going to the academy with a friend. Bad, terrible, horrendous, truly sucky idea.
Apply.On.Your.Own.This.Weekend.
Do not delay, do not pass go. You are not going to collect $200 if you do all this with a buddy. P-L-E-A-S-E!!!
