Who could be more qualified than you, Consuela?
In reality? Nobody. But if a veteran applies who meets the very barest level of qualification, that would trump my four years of actually doing the job, according to how the math works for scoring applicants. I understand why the system is in place, but the likelihood of any veteran who qualifies actually understanding and being able to do the job is... slim. Even with my background (which is fairly unique) it still took me about a year to get my brain around the program.

Mr Peabody just brought two (unmatching) shoes into the office. I think he wants to go out.

Our wings are not tired.
Consuela, that's fantastic news. I hope you're made permament so that you can get on with the other important things in your life that you want to do (house, house, house).

Oh man, y'all. Just got the following email from the person who sits in the next cube to me. (Who thankfully does not report directly to me anymore.)
I wanted to very humbly ask you for a favor. Could you possibly use a different name or word when you get frustrated, besides “Jesus Christ?” As you may know, I am a Christian and that name is very precious to me. My heart about shatters when I hear His name used that way. I know you don’t mean anything by it.

Brenda, I think the only sane answer is to start saying "motherfucker" instead. You know, out of respect.
