So did I mention I applied for a different job here? I did--it's the senior spot filled by the coworker who retired recently. Anyway, I applied at kind of the last minute, and what do you know?
I didn't make the short list. Because I'm neither a current federal employee nor a veteran. ::head-desk::
However at least one of my more-competent coworkers did (as he is a current federal employee), so possibly they'll end up hiring someone who actually can do the job in a useful way. I can hope, anyway...
Maybe it's time to enlist? No, probably not.
Consuela that sucks. Unbelievable.
It is, by the way, a bad thing to seal your ducts with duct tape.
And here I thought there was nothing that couldn't be fixed by duct tape, but it turns out ducts not so much?
Oh Suela, your work. There's not enough Xanax in the world.
GodDAMN, Consuela!
Once I realized the date, I knew it was the twin's bday. Happy FIFTH!!!!
For the longest time, that date was part of my password system.
I was a total rockstar today and knocked out two complicated scripts that will make my job a lot easier. It would be a lot faster if I didn't have to dust off my perl, oh, every damned time. But the thing is, while I might be good at plotting out how code should work, actual coding makes me a little manic...ok a lot, in a bad way, so I let long intervals go between execution. So I have to remind myself of the syntax all over again. Jack of all trades, master of none, that's me.
My poor officemate, though. He's had to put up with 3 days of muttering, violent typing and dramatic sighs of disgust.
Keep forgetting to wish Happy Birthday to Noah and Grace. Happy Birthday, Noah and Grace!
I'm not that upset, because after all the bullshit about my own position, I didn't expect to make the list, and I really did knock out my application at the last minute.
But it's just so... symptomatic.
Any chance if he gets the job, you can take HIS?
Maybe it's time to enlist?
Bonus, you'd get training in the use of assault weapons. Which might come in handy if the day comes that you just can't take the red tape anymore.
