So I have been debating for just over a year now whether or not to reach out to my old chief and see if three years has softened his heart. I have acknowledged my faults and have made peace with everything, but HE is the last person to employ me as a police officer, and future potential employers will no doubt go through him to seek information about my work record.

I thought maybe I should go in there, tuck my balls up into my bum, swallow my pride, and apologize for embarrassing him and his department.

whats the worst that could happen..

.

Lord knows that guy did his share of sketchy and immoral things, but he's in the position of power (for now) and I did get myself into this. I wanted to be the bigger man, go in there, shake his hand and say sorry.

I went through the chain of command and placed the request for a sit down through the Lieutenant. I got the call back this morning from the LT who said...

"Joe, I talked to the chief and told him you would like to come in and apologize and he denied your request for a sit down and wants to keep things as they were".

This is the part where I normally would go on a obscenity filled rant about how much I hate the man, and how he thinks he's above everyone else but I won't . I proved today that I am and always will be the bigger man.

But Chief, just because you're a cop doesn't mean you're better than people. Cops are just people too, not super heroes, and people aren't perfect...

I still couldn't get through to unemployment but got more applications out today. I did get some really good advise to think outside the box however. Why not drop off my resumes at police departments taped to the top of a box of donuts!! Hahaha! What a way to stand out or be remembered! "Here you go Sir, my resume and a box of boston creams. Have at it but don't take too big of bites because my card is strategically placed in the middle of each donut. I look forward to hearing from you, fatty".

Somethings gotta give, I'll keep at it. Kind of a boring blog today, oh well. This is for me anyways so, bugger off!! I think the blog is showing some character though. During my morning prayers I told God I was proud of myself for moving forward and opening up, I asked him to please share with me what he thought and I'm pretty sure he said...

Alright, daddy duty calls but I think I got some good blooper videos for the weekend. A couple pretty good FAILS, including a puppet skit! Gotta get dinner ready, so it's time to turn up the tunes. My little Monster and the "Monster Mosh"...
