Five Things

I think I have done this sometime before but I can't remember.  So here we are again.  Over at Bam Bam's I see that she was tagged to tell 5 things we don't know about her.  She didn't tag me but offered it up to everyone.  So here I go (if you knew this stuff already tell me and I'll try to come up with something different.)

I haven't done it in over 20 years, but I have a red belt in American Freestyle Karate.  I hate that I stopped taking classes and would love to get back into it again.  Different styles of Karate have different belt ranks, where I was taking I was about 6 months away from my brown belt, and then would come black.

I stood up to a cop once and almost got arrested.  Yeah little ole me stood up for what I thought to be right and the policeman threated to arrest me there on the spot.  Why?  Someone had called the cops on a neighbor's dog that had gotten loose.  I didn't see it happen, but when the police showed up he claimed the dog ran to attack him and he shot and killed it.  Right there in the dog's own yard.  The neighbor had a fenced in back yard and there were 2 more dogs inside the fence.  More police showed up and the dog catcher.  They were going to go into my neighbor's fenced in back yard and take the dogs.  OVER MY DEAD BODY!  A and his wife were at church and someone was going to go get him, but the police weren't going to wait they were bound and determeded to take the dogs.  So I go to the gate and grab hold of the fence.  No one was going through that gate to get into the yard and take the dogs.  Mr Police Man got REALLY, REALLY mad at me.  Threated to arrest me.  I'm like the dogs are in the yard, they haven't done anything wrong, the owner is on his way and you can just wait.  Mr Police Man started to see red I think.  So we go back and forth and finally A gets home (before I get handcuffed thank God).  Dog Catcher askes to see the paperwork for the dogs rabies shots, and whatever.  A goes in the house and comes out with the papers.  Everything was in order, so the Dog Catcher left.  Didn't take any dogs with him.  If I hadn't been there they would have taken the 2 dogs and A would have had to pay to get them back.  He already had one dead dog laying on his front lawn he didn't need the hassel of the others being taken away.  I don't believe for a minute that the dog Mr Police Man killed had tried to attack him.  It was way to friendly of a dog.

I have 2 associate degrees from the local technical/community college.  The first I got was in Executive Secretarial science.  After graduation I couldn't find a job in the field so I went back and got my AAS degree in Business Adminstration (graduated with honors that time!  Yeah me!)  I never did get a job in either field.  But I did get tons of interviews.

Tired of not getting a job in my chosen field, and didn't want to work as a cashier (in a furniture store) all my life I lied to get a job.  I went to one of those temp agencys.  They asked me if I could do data entry (this was years ago before anyone had PC's), I knew how to type so I said yeah I can do that.  They gave me a typing test and sent me out on a job.  I didn't have the first clue to what I was going to have to do.  But I quickly learned, and I learned that every job had a different set up so I would have to have been trained anywhere the agency had sent me. 

I have had many crushes but at the age of 24 I fell in love for the first time ever.  I was turned stupid and blind by this love.  It is amazing how stupid and blind a person can be.  Needless to say D ripped out my heart, spit on it, stomped on it, tore it into pieces, and set it on fire.  I have never been quite the same. 

So there you have 5 things you probably didn't know about me.  What about you?  Got 5 things I don't know about?
