So I've begun the "work" phase of my pre-hire time. I was told that I would be assigned to the academy. So I, and the other pre-hire, reported to the academy on Monday. It was a good time; we helped out as role players in very realistic scenarios for officers.
At the end of the day, though, we were told that we were being transferred. The academy already has six cadets assigned to help, so we were just spare bodies.
The Sgt. Told us that we were being sent to the crime scene unit. They just moved into a new building and need help getting organized.
The problem is, now that we're here, there really isn't much to do. We spent the morning cleaning some machines, labeling drawers, and moving furniture. But now here we sit, with two hours left on our shift, with nothing to do.
The Lt. Said he had nothing for us, then left for the day. Now don't get me wrong, I'll accept a paycheck this large to do nothing. I'm just getting antsy.
We do, however, have physical training in the morning. I had physical training on Tuesday and it kicked my ass. I'm still hurting. The trainer told us, though, that he works us harder than the academy does. So hopefully I'll get used to his training, then be able to do well later.
I'm going to go wander around and try and find ANYTHING to do.

They won't let you use that free time at the range? Lord knows you cops need all the target practice you can get so none of us bystanders get a lead salad! haha...gotta love the fact that us taxpayers are paying you to sit around and label shit.
Adam, are you even a FFX County taxpayer? Isn't Alexandria an independent city?
