Had a client call today that left me wanting to break something afterwards. I think I need a new job.

**** that guy. We don't even have them as a client anymore. We basically told them to take their business and shove it.
Pretty sure just tax season.
Snow tires came off of vehicles last 2 weeks.
Changed a tire on work truck today had to take a sledge hammer to it to break it free.
Those moms sound kind of ornery back a page or so ago. They shouldn't be so mean to those kids trying to earn a buck.

Application sent in.
Since I'm ABD, I answered "no" to the "currently possess PhD" question and submission time.
System's first response: "You don't meet the minimum qualifications for this position."
Um, the ad and app were clear that it's good if I have it by January, when this starts.
Pretty sure it's all good, since people like me are almost every applicant they'll get, but what a stinking heart attack.

Thanks for all the responses, made the decision rather clear. These are all Police Department's that I'm applying for. Which is a small knit community around the Central Iowa area, but I won't be living / applying for any Police Departments in Ames or Iowa.
About the same time she shut Pants down.
@Angie will always madly lust after me. It's never about if, but more WHEN.
I used to hate how they would announce that to everyone, as if kids need a reason to be mean. I reached my basketball and life peak in 6th grade, where my report card says I was 5'9" and weighed 92 pounds. I haven't gotten any taller since. I could just shoot over all of the other girls though. Must have looked like a giraffe.
One thing my girls inherited from me was my lack of flexibility and as of right now my lack of height (only one at adult height, still have 3 more to go. . .) I told the oldest I also used to be really good at the bent arm hang. I remember "hanging" in the basement wrestling room of our ancient middle school. But I have never been able to touch my toes, and honestly there isn't that far to go. We thought our 2nd would make a good gymnast because she is small/petite, but she can not bend either.
With the whole babysitting issue, thankfully usually my friends are pretty open with recommendations. A lot use ISU students, and now the oldest is at the age where she and her friends babysit. I need a babysitter so I can go to Cy's House of Trivia this year. Hubby and the oldest will be in KC for volleyball. Grandma usually babysits that night, but they will be traveling home from South Africa. I posted on FB and had 3 neighbors say their own girls were available and one texted me 2 college girls # who they use to babysit.
I have a group of four other friends and we have always had each others' backs on babysitting for each other. Had to call one of them to go get my kids when my mom had a medical emergency. Of course, I don't need a sitter any more but my boys have actually chipped in to help some of my friends who have younger kids. We don't hog sitters though, we just help each other out in a pinch.
Sit and reach didn't take into account my abnormally long legs/thighs and normal lengthed arms. There was a girl in my class that was a dancer, and she could put her stomach flat to the floor. I think she would get a +14" easily. I was happy with a 0" or +1". And, we had to do a pull-up. No "dead hang" (I THINK that's what we called it) I had to work for just one pull-up. But somewhere, not school, I tested myself on a "dead hang". I think I went upper 40's/lower 50's in seconds.
I was 5' in 4th grade. 9 or 10 years old, and 5' tall. I wish I could tell you where i was at 6th grade, but couldn't. By end of 8th grade, I was 5'10".
I'm so old, I never had to to do the Presidential Physical Fitness thing myself. But I could do a ton of chin ups on the pole that held up the clothes line until I finally got hips and boobs around the beginning of 8th grade. Before that, I just didn't have that much weight to pull up. I'll have to have the boys show me how to dead hang and hopefully not hang dead. They like to show me how to lift weights and the like so they can laugh at me. But they did brag on me when I finally benched 100 lbs again.
No clue what this sit & reach is. We did pull-ups, push ups, one lap around the track, a 100 yd dash, & squat thrusts. I sucked at most, if not all of them. If that sit & reach involves flexibility, I might have actually had one that I could DO! I could stand feet together and lay my palms flat on the floor without bending my knees, sit on the floor with the soles of my feet together and my knees would touch the floor. Forward and side splits, check. Lay on my stomach and take the rubber band out of my ponytail with my toes, check.
I just wasn't any good at arm strength or running.

I'm older than you, and WE had to do them. Maybe Washington had different rules than Iowa.
I could make everything but the pull ups. Great lower body strength, good arm strength but just not what pull ups required.
We had to run a mile, what is this with a 1/4 mile?
