Your Tax Dollars at Work

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!

Congrats on the job! Employment is good. Really, I swear!

Congratulations. There are good things about a job - like a steady paycheck and health insurance. There are bad things too, but let's not go there. Tryin' to be positive!

Just remember all the jobs Hemingway had... you're building your writer's bio blurb!

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.
