The interview isn't until tomorrow. But I'll let you know as soon as it's done. It feels weird with it not being there. I want to straighten and clean my mustache every time I eat or drink? And there's nothing there. Luckily it's been oddly warm so my face didn't get such a shock.its made it nice running a river trapline as I'm not fighting the ice yet. Just keeping the beavers out of te mink sets, and getting them to get in the traps intended for them. Collected a 40# one today and yesterday had one tear up a pocket set before pulling out of a 1.5 longspring.

Ask yourself this....you wanna give them anything they can get a hold of in a fight?  There is a reason jailers don't wear ponytails!.

What might help in the interview, is asking if the policy allows for a beard and what length. And then maybe if the opportunity arises to let them know what you did for the chance to work there?

I got the job! At the get go they said I was there too pick. After the initial interview that amounted to the sheriff telling me the pay, benefits, and job details. He showed the the facility and had me do a voice analysis questioning. Then he asked if I wanted the position and when I could start. I start on the 11th. Now the hard part, letting my current boss know I'll be leaving there.

Congratulations Kyle, sounds like it all works out. Hope you still have time for that trap line.

I can have a short and neatly trimmed beard. So it'll be back. They have a $300 per year allowance for clothes and equipment. I should still be able to make use of this years budget before next year hits. I should still have plenty of time to run te line. I'll be working fewer hours than I am now. Once I get to my normal hours it'll work out perfect.6pm-6am two days on two off. So when I get off I can run the line at the time I'd want to anyway. And in my days off I can wake up and go to BJJ class. Which he said their personal defense training is based on. So I'll have a head start there.

A good boss will be happy for you, anything less than that simply justifies further why you are leaving for another job opportunity.

Good for you. Congratulations.

You will like the 12 hour shift schedule.  I've been working that for over 14 years now.  I love having all of the days off.  It's great in hunting season.  You will have weekdays off to hunt when everyone else is at work.  The woods will be empty. 
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
