Stressful test

I took a polygraph test today as part of the sheriff's deputy hiring process. It was really stressful and took FOREVER! I think I barely passed but they said that "quality control" might want me to come back. Apparently I had a lot of "artifacts" which is where I twitched or breathed too much or clenched my ass or something.

I'm questioning if this is the right career choice for me. If I can get this stressed during a fucking polygraph test maybe my coping skills aren't highly developed.

A few pictures from my Caribbean Trip

Here's me and my roommate right before she got her own room. She was nice and we got along well but it was great having the room to myself the last couple of days.


Me, Lana and Kasey at Half Moon Cay. We were fast friends from the very beginning of the trip. I had a blast with these two! This was the warmest, sunniest day.


Me at Trunk Bay, St. John's Island minutes before it started pouring.


Me in a rain forest in Puerto Rico. This place was lush!


Me in my stateroom right before heading off to go dancing.

Laughing Back to California

I had a GREAT trip. I definitely laughed more this past week than I ever have in a single week. I made new friends that I laughed with. There were four hilarious comics on board doing shows plus they MC'd different events. They had the audience doubled over with laughter.

One of the signers for the hearing impaired became part of one comics act when she kept throwing odd words randomly into her routine just to see what the sign for it was. It was hysterical plus so ad-libbed that it was surprising how well it worked. The signer got to laughing so had she had tears running down her cheeks and I noticed they came from the outside part of her eye, the same way I mentioned in another post.

I've got the jet lag thing going and I'm pretty tired but I'll try to post some pictures soon.
