What are you waiting for?
Today I had my appointment to apply and interview at the local VA hospital. I believe in some small ways, it may actually be easier to become a Veteran than to volunteer to help one out. I can understand, they want to make sure I am not just volunteering at the hospital to see if I can score some oxycotin or something, but still. I had to go through a process that includes a background check, fingerprinting, two TB tests, and a live fire exercise (ok I made that part up)
My three brains had a heck of a time today going through the process.
Brain: Well this place is laid out in this formation, construction seems 60's era
Heart: Look at all these poor veterans, we're doing the right thing helping.
Penis: zzzz
Brain: There is the office for the girl with whom we have an appointment
Penis: Girl pretty...
Heart: Shut it, we're not here for that
Brain: It appears she is not wearing a ring
Heart: Quit helping him
Brain: We have to go upstairs to get finger printed.
Penis: The finger print girl isn't too shabby
Heart: We're here for the veterans damnit!
Penis: I think she purposely brushed her boob on our hands when she was fingerprinting us
Brain & Heart (in unison): KNOCK IT OFF!
So then I went for my TB test. Since I am over a certain age, they actually require not one but two, two TB tests! I got the one today, then next week, I go back for them to check my arm and give me another one. Then I go back a few days later and they will check my final one, and I will be cleared medically for duty. Now, it still takes thirty days for the background check to go through, but I suppose at least I will have some of the hurdles done.
