The author, in a rare moment of celebration.It's over! Training is finally over! And for once, the fickle finger of fate has smiled upon our dashing young hero. Instead of being assigned to the furthest reaches of humanity, I was assigned approximately thirty minutes closer to home. The division is very busy - which is what I want - but not an hour's drive away - which I did not want. I think I'll be very happy there. Detective Wyatt reports for duty at 0900 tomorrow morning. Giddyup!
Hey, doesn't "fast Eddie" live in that district? Good luck, and be sure to shine your badge. :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteHooray! I commuted into D.C. everyday for around a decade until my office moved to the burbs. Now I'm only driving 20 minutes. Makes a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and good hunting in the new job, Detective!
YAY!
ReplyDeleteCool Detective Earp.
congrats, BTW question for you.... When in plain cloths you look like ?
ReplyDeleteYay! Happy for you...driving an hour just to get to the job sucks!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck. Looking forward to lots of Detective Earp stories!
ReplyDeleteDo you get issued a pipe, a magnifying glass and an ugly plaid hat?
ReplyDeleteAlso congrats.
I hereby second that "Hooray!"
ReplyDeleteIf you do get issued a pipe, a magnifying glass and an ugly plaid hat I think it would be right down shameful...no sinful...to not post a photo of that for us. ;)
Many congrats!
RT - Yeah, he does. And I'm staying FAR AWAY!
ReplyDeleteGunny - It took me about 20 minutes, tops. It was sweet!
Ty - Thanks, Ty. Now get posting on B4B.
Web - Thanks. In plainclothes, I look like a very fat Sipowicz . . . with less style. Heh.
SK - Thanks, and yes, a long drive time sucks.
Karma - I know. It's already happening, and I'm already asking myself if it was the right move.
Mom - Thanks! I hope I'll be able to regale you with some good ones.
Doc - Nah, just a bad disposition and an ill-fitting shirt and tie.
Uber - Posting pics of myself will turn readers away. I'm looking to add some!
Pop - Thanks, but aren't I "the man?" Or did you mean GOP and the City's "The Man?"
You didn't pistol whip someone to get what you wanted, I hope!
ReplyDeleteLin - Nah. Just bribed the mayor. It wasn't all that difficult, either.
