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.

It really is fucked. I'm sorry they are doing this to you.

Aw man, Connie. As you know, we feel your pain. mr. flea's call to the boss of the job got the pool widened for the job he wasn't referred for, but we haven't heard if he's made the wider pool yet.

Ugh. You are not the only person I know who has had that happen, 'Suela, to be working in a job and then not make the short list. I've been told that people in that position should just lie on their KSA and say "Yes, I have supervised doing all of those things" or whatever the highest level is, rather than be honest.

Ridiculous.

I'm so sorry that this whole thing has been such a fucked up PITA.

I'm sorry Consuela, that really sucks. What a screwed up system.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Recoveryma to you, Hayden.

Went to the grocery store for the week's food after work today. All went as normal, except I used the wrong card to pay.(Used my personal credit card instead of the bank card for the joint account.) Yep, it's Monday...

And I did! That's what kills me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That bites, Suela. What a rigamarole.

I have to say this is very aptly named: Historic WTF (Part 2)
