At the place that pays me, I have been trying to get into a certain class for over 18 months. The class is a very important for those of us who are trusted to take care of Uncle LeRoy's monies (as my Grandma would say). I know people who have tried to get into the class for YEARS, but never 'made the cut' (the Big House~DA~makes the decision of who attends from all those who are interested). There was always a reason that I could not attend, such as...'you don't rank high enough', 'you just got here', or 'you are to leave next year, we don't want to train you and you go on to a new job'. In March when I applied for the class, I had not been promoted yet (my new grade is the minimum requirement) and I was also # 23 on the waiting list. I was told the chance of getting in was 'slim to none'. I almost forgot...free to good home: I'm off to
Monday, while peparing to go to a staff meeting at the same place where I had the altercation at the gas station a while ago, I got a phone call saying that someone had cancelled, and since I was the closest to the training site (the World's Busiest Air Base) and I could attend, if I wanted (I was still #23 on the waiting list). I just had to get the ok from those in charge.
The person in charge said it was ok if I went to the class. So, I've been in class since Monday, and I've learned SO much about my job in the last 2 days (rules, regulations, laws, etc.)! I should add that I am the 'youngest in the class regarding paygrade'. At least 5 fellow fundage keepers have tried to get into the class for over 10 years.
Once the 5 day class is complete, I can take a test (3 modules) and when I pass, it allows me to gain 'super hero status' and place a few letters behind my name that are VERY important to those of us who take care of Uncle LeRoy's money.
Add to this the fact that I have to take a midterm in my other class on Wednesday. Since the midterm is open book and notes, not too much studying to be done.
