The final countdown!!! Graduation is next week!! Yay! Then I am officially a real cop . . . who works in a jail. Yeah, I know. Don't rub it in.
So this guy comes in the jail and starts telling me how he diagnosed all his health problems on his own. He obviously did good research, as proven by the following statement: "I have grandma seizures." Right. I'll let her know.
I realize I look young for my age but it's been awhile since I've been carded for alcohol. Consequently I don't always carry my ID in the grocery store. Apparently, this is a mistake.

And dang it all, I forgot my ID. Forced to return empty handed. Just for the record, it is bad form for the probie to return empty handed because he still looks like he is 17. I was 'The Kid' forever.

ReplyDeleteI didn't realize they were carding these days for rubber cement. What did you need it for? Collage? I can't even think of what it's used for anymore. But I see it in the school supply section.
