I have bad news for everybody.
I got a job.
In precisely double the time in which I was told I’d receive definitive word on whether or not I’d sufficiently blown the interview on a position I don’t want but fear turning down, he U.S. government has made a tentative offer to pour a bunch of tax dollars straight down the incompetence hole.
There’s one ray of hope for us all: The offer is pending a background check. Maybe a big ol’ bit of domestic terrorist association will do the trick. LOOK AT ME, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, HANGING AROUND WITH PEOPLE WHO WEAR CHE T-SHIRTS!

No matter how badly you want to get rejected, be careful what you post. The CIA and/or FBI might already have agents on their way to your doorstep to take you into custody…Those guys are serious.

Hey, between the G men throwing money to Fannie May & Freddie Mac, or giving it to you, I pick you every time of the week and twice on Sunday ;-)
So, congratulations on your new job. Remember: It’s not what you do what defines you.
