Dispatch job, not this time

City of San Jose posted open application period for the Police Dispatch position on Monday. I thought about it, and sent a few emails to clarify an issue with them, but then ultimately decided I don't want to apply again.
Although the process was interesting, it was freaking 6 months long! And it really irks me that they don't keep people on an eligibility list for a year or two, they make you do the whole damn process all over again if you want to reapply. Another background check, lie detector test, psych interviews etc.
I understand that even if you make it to the interview stage it's still only a 50/50 chance, but to make people go thru all that again seems like a horrible waste of money on their part.
If I wasn't just right then, why should I be just right now? Frankly I think there's some "pre-hiring" going on there anyway, cause my interview was just weird. Short and not as in-depth as it should have been, like they already had the people they wanted picked out. I think there's a bit of nepotism and stuff going on with their hiring.
Plus the whole issue with not getting any feedback on why I wasn't hired.
Besides, it would be a freaking hard job, and I don't know if I really want the stress of that, and the shift work hours. It would suck to never be able to socialise at the same time as you guys.

Mmm, Thursday

Thursday, mmmm.
Survivor tonight, and CSI and ER.
I had visions the other day of getting some pizza for tea tonight, but we had it last night at our group dinner, so I think the leftover pumpkin soup will be good instead.
I shall sit at my crafting empire tonight, and attempt to finish the following:
*Finally hem the bottom of the dance cloak/coverup I made like 3 years ago
*Repair dance hat, one of my jewelry bits came off, and I need to handsew it back on
*Make my "Thank You" sign for my truck
(I drove my art truck around all day Saturday, and a bunch of people honked and thumb-upped me, and it made me think it would be cool to have a little Thank you sign to flash at them)
*I may sew a hat or two, but don't know if I'll have time after the above. I got some fun new fleece last weekend. A rainbow tie-dye, and a bluey-purple swirly one

Argh!

Good evening, but wayyyyyy to much dough for dinner!
Telly was good. I got most of my tasks done, hemmed the cloak, fixed the hat, did a good portion of the sign.
But then checking my email I accidentally deleted an email I needed to read, before I opened it! It was about setting up a hair appt.
Wah
I emailed her again, and asked if she could resend, and I'll call tomorrow. I could really handle a haircut tommorow, that would be super relaxing.
