EMPLOYMENT!

[fearlesstemp]

A couple of years ago I took a civil service test to get put on the list for state jobs, and have been receiving letters about potential jobs for about a year now. When I didn't get the teaching job for this year, I started replying to them in earnest, but NEVER got called for an interview, which made me think that my letters were just going into this state black hole, or that my resume paper smelled like BO or something. I was full of black despair, especially when I was forced to go back to my TIMP (temp agency pimp) and beg for work a couple of weeks ago.

BUT. Last week I got an interview for a state job! And today I was offered the job! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

It's a job in a field I'd never pursue on my own with a super-bland Orwellian title like "Management Specialist Trainee I", but it has BENEFITS and a SALARY and FREE PARKING (an issue for state jobs) and the PEOPLE WERE NICE and the job itself will likely NOT REQUIRE hideous amounts of night and weekend work like teaching did of me, and and and.

I HAVE A JOB!
