    Polygraph! My answers will be so bad not only will I not be hired, I might get arrested, maybe even deported!

    30k sounds like a really nice amount for a bonus, so maybe I’ll take the risk.

    I wonder what questions they ask?

    One question they ask is; "Are you ever indecisive as to employment choices?"

    SXx with a goat. You did go to the sand box... ..

    Actually I clicked on the link. I was looking at jobs in Midland TX. CB Patrol came up. It said veterans might be able to get out of polygraph test. I'm in my 50s you need to be 40 or less to get on with them. It takes like 6 months to on-board is my understanding.

    Custom border patrol

    Well you guys might not believe this but I think I made a mistake. Woke up in Wichita Falls this morning, about 10 minutes from Sheppard AFB. Opened the hotel door and had immediate regrets. This humidity is something else. I have some sensitivity with my skin and I got immediately itchy. Now I could suck it up and just get used to it, I've dealt with plenty of humidity before. But I don't think I want to. I think I'm about to turn around and regroup in the sweet dry desert.
