Whoops! Chief’s Interview

I got to Mercer Island around seven-forty this morning, but I had to wait to meet up with McDonough before we could get out on the boat. When I got back to his office I found out that I had to have a chief’s interview before I was officially hired on. I was a little nervous about that.

We went out to the boat and got going. He explained several things about the boat to me and how to drive it a little bit. I got a chance to drive it around for a little bit. It is bigger than my boat by eleven feet. I am a little nervous driving it. We went through a couple of the bays that we serve.

At around ten-thirty I had my chief’s interview. One thing about the Mercer Island chief is that he seems really young. I also had a high ranking captain or some other type of person in there. I think I did well on the interview. I went back to McDonoughs desk to wait for him. I was so nervous because it was taking a while for him to get back to me. But I found out he was also talking about other stuff with them. So I am now officially hired. We set up a couple more dates for me to do some boat patrol and training. I am going to work a couple events coming up as well as do some training on Saturday morning.

After that I went to work where I was until around six o’clock in the afternoon. I went home and got on my computer. It has been a long time since I spent a fair amount of time posting on the Shack. It was neat to post a whole bunch. That was about it for my day.
