Job offer


Officially got the call today for employment with the City of Cleveland. I will be an employee with the division of water. I'm pretty siked. I start on the 17th. Not posting this on FB because I really don't give a rats ass about people I don't associate with. You guys on the other hand, matter.

I want in on the Santa thing now that I will be working. :P

big congratulations!

what have you been doing recently? i know you did the police academy thing, but couldn't get a position w/ the department, so you had a couple part time things, right? is law enforcement off the table entirely? how did you get hooked up with this?

Clevo,
Great to hear this man. I know it's been a rough journey the last couple years for you on the job front. And just in time for the holidays too. Congrats.

Thanks everyone. I really like the fact I can share this with all you. It has been a tough go the past couple of years. I went back to school to work on my Bachelors in Education. In fact I got word yesterday( ya the same day) that I would finally be student teaching in the spring and next fall and then graduating. Something I have worked forever on. However, bills, priorities and family trump being able to finish school right now.

I finished my degree in Police Science and the Police Academy and at the time the best job I received was part time. I worked that for a while, but needed a full time gig. Went to work for a hospital for over a year. I was part of the 11% that got laid off last fall. Just before I was laid off I took the civil service test of the City of Cleveland division of water. I tested well enough for someone with no experience. After being laid off, I went full blast back to school and on the side wormed my way into/attended a couple water treatment seminars and classes. I literally walked in and sat down. I didn't pay for the classes, I just showed and interest and the instructors were ok with it. This was over the past summer. I finally received a call in September for a series of interviews with Cleveland. Yesterday, I received the call of the job off. I am so ready to be back at work. As we all know, things are nutty anymore. Stability is desperately needed and my situation has been less than stable for a long time. Finishing finals this week and grinning like a kid again. It's a strange feeling.

And seriously, thank you, all of you. This 36 year old has been stressing like a MF'er for a while. One thing that has been nice during these times is THORP BOARD.

Taking the water from Lake Erie and making it drinkable. Specifically I am not exactly sure how it works yet, but that is a simple explanation. Water treatment has two divisions. The first being Water treatment, which makes water drinkable for the public. The second being wastewater treatment. Making doo doo water clean enough to go back into the environment.


@BD. Ya, my trying everything is not the best plan for sure. If I would have just stayed focused on education and not let my pursuit of law enforcement get in the way I would have finished my degree in education and be working in the field long ago. I am thinking I need a therapist to deal with some deep seeded issues with commitment. :info:

My friend did the water treatment thing for a few years in Niagara, he said he's scared to drink water now lol.

Well done :D




A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
