on a stranger note, i was woken up this morning by scottsdale pd. they came looking for dave, cause apparently he's missing? he didn't show up to work and they couldn't get ahold of him and my address was the only one they had for him. so he made me get my phone and call him, and i wasn't allowed to tell him that the cop was there. it was kinda scary. then he started asking me if he was mentally competent or if he drank a lot. it was weird. then he started asking me if i knew where he was last night. i dunno. very strange. all of this while i was half asleep and trying to get ready for my midterm.
****
i had my midterm and got the 6th best grade in the class out of 26. not too shabby, i don't think. i was proud. and my teacher is gonna set me up to go on a ride along with his department. he's gonna be a chief for the new Scottsdale FD. so i figure if i get in his good graces then maybe he'll be looking to hire someone he likes.
on the downside of me becoming a firefighter paramedic boy, my dad has rural metro as a client. my dad's business was hired to make sure that the FDs had been hiring equal opportunity and stuff. they haven't. apparently for the last 4 years it's been mostly white males. and so they don't like my dad very much. damn... now my last name is a burden.
so they might not hire me cause they dont' like him. on a happier note, maybe they want to be in his good graces? and so they will hire me? plus, i'm mexican, equal opportunity bitches.
