Anyhow he asked me how long it took to get a CPL. I said I can do the background check in 15 minutes, we'll have it in an hour.
My immense leader crashed the Hindenberg on my party by insisting that we had to wait till a mental health check returned.
A cop worked for us for 10 years or more, had a mental check when hired, I've never received a denial and they take at minimum of a week.
I just about tossed the shield on her desk, haven't been that ticked off since last well Monday. I think I'm ready to hang it up anyhow.
