I feel like I should just walk out the door.
Can you? Because I would sorely be tempted too. That's horrible. The fucking short list?
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

People laughed when I warned them this might happen, but all it took was to have a couple of veterans who made the minimal requirements to apply, and even though I'm 5x more qualified for the position, it wouldn't count as much as the veterans' preference.
I sent a frantic email off to the Big Boss and the HR person. Guess we'll see what happens.

All of this shit is managed in Washington, and I have no direct contact with those people. And the HR person is on leave today.
Hopefully the Big Boss will follow up.
I suppose they could keep me on in contract status, but that would suck--the benefits are lousy, and being a contractor actually interferes with my ability to get shit done. I can't sign reports, I can't manage projects, and so forth.
