Firefighting Update.

For all you avid followers who wanted progress on Brad's "getting a firefighting job" escapades, here you go!
He took the general knowledge test on April 9 and passed with a 92.5%.  They took everyone with 90% and above (a total of 215 people).  Then on May 10 he had an "oral assessment" with an interviewing board.  They had all 215 people come in one at a time and gave them a maximum of 25 minutes or less to answer the same 5 questions, then scored them 1-5 on their answers.
We just received the results from the assessment and Brad's overall score...he got 3.5/5 and the average was 3.28.  The test was worth 30% of his ranking and the assessment was worth 70%.  His overall ranking was 109/215.  They are only hiring 12-16 people, which is more than they originally said, but they are only interviewing 3 people for each position.  So at most they will interview the top 48 people. 109 is a bit further down, but as people retire or quit or whathaveyou, they will continue down the list of 215 and interview for positions for the next 2 years (that's how long the list is good for).  All in all, there is still a decent chance that Brad could get a job, just not right away/any time soon.
Also, I was set to graduate from school on June 14, but due to a pretty ridiculous ankle sprain/possible tendon tear/hairline fracture (http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150205635198961&set=a.19782363960.13544.505228960&type=1&theater), I have missed some hours and it'll be a little later than that.  I'm still done in June though and have some salon equipment at my parents' house, so if anyone needs their hairs done, let me know!
