Had a good weekend.  The interview with "Hellotown" went well as far as I know (no, that is not me in the picture).  It was a little nerve racking.  Since they are such a small town, the panel was made of of a Lt, the Chief, and the Mayor.  It was awkward.  But their department is so small, they only have one officer on shift.  They pay less than Littleville’s dispatchers get paid, and there isn’t even health insurance.  But I’m still not turning anything down.  They said they’d be in touch with me.

I also had the interview with "Littleville".  I really got a good feeling from it.  I was nervous as hell but actually relaxed during the panel.  The guys on the panel were actually very friendly and easy to talk to.  They did the usual canned questions, but we did get some talk time and I really liked conversing with them.  I just really felt they were interested in what I had to say, not just srutinizing me.  They said they had some more interviews to do, and that I should know something by the end of next week.  Not what I wanted to hear, but I still had a good feeling from it.

"Windytown" also called me today and asked me to come in the next morning for solo interview (and another day for a panel).  Even though I had a ridealong until 1am I still agreed to go.  Don’t want to turn anything down yet.

So I went on another ride-along with Littleville.  Had a good time as always.  It was a week night, and kind of slow.   Saw some interesting things, learned a lot as always.  But the most fun was the K-9 bite.  The K-9 officer needed to get his dog warmed up (something they do periodicaly).  So the guy I ride with volunteered to be the bad guy and get bit.  He put on the suit and below is what happened…
