I am my own man

I belong to a tree-huggerish forum. I will have to link up to it sometime in the near future. Anhwho, I had been bitching about the polygraph for some time there and was getting nothing but shit from these people. All of them letting me know in no uncertain terms that I was a whiny punk. They mostly suggested that I can only hurt myself by going and talking with the Assistant Sheriff.

Well, I was there bright and early and had a very frank and detailed conversation with this man. Before we sat down I told him straight up that I was not looking at getting the job but wanted to know EXACTLY why. He went over the polygraph test and said this is why you were denoed employment with us. I can handle that.

I asked him if many people come in after being denied and he said that very few did. He was surprised by my questions and knowledge of what I wanted. I guess with all of the local inbred population here the choices are few for them to pick.

He did however suggest that I apply for the deputy sherrif positions that are opening up...8-9 of them. He fed me a line how he felt that they let one slip by which did nothing to ease my feelings about the whole thing.

I was sure to go back to the forum and let them know that I had gone against their advice and was pleased with the outcome.
