  Yeah, my job ROCKS.  Although I won’t be able to divulge specifics once the ball gets rolling, I can certainly explain the gist of it now.  We analyze data and crime trends and try to predict the need for more patrols in particular areas with high crime patterns. Sounds like a lot of mumbo jumbo, eh?  Well, I’ll be able to travel to training courses across Texas and the US to  learn more about my job. The money is great, the people are nice and the job is challenging. My brain is drained from all the reading and studying I did today, but overall, it was a great start.  We’ll be basically expanding a new sub-department based upon  how much use I can get out of this developing program. 

  AND- I got a my picture on a spiffy badge. That’s right, I’m officially cool. I haven’t gotten those police issued aviator sunglasses yet, but I’ll be placing a call to Top Gun and borrowing his. Yeah, I’m that cool.

  Have you ever had a job that you knew you’d be good at  but NEVER thought you’d get the opportunity to work at? This was a silver platter gift from God and I can’t wait to see how the next few years go. The nerd inside of me has chills up and down her leg. (Kinda like Chris Matthews got from Obama’s voice.)

  Best part of all is- I get a lunch break. I get to be home in the evening to see my kids. I *enjoy* the work I’m doing here. I’m making more money to get all of these extra benefits. See how badly the shoe store sucked?
  And it’s all thanks to you Xangans and your prayers.

  Love to you all!
