Shelter From The Storm

No Longer A Department Of Labor Statistic

Posted in Uncategorized by Huckleberry on February 8, 2012

I can add nothing to this. Plus, it's still miles to go until we sleep, and miles to go until we sleep...

Well, the funemployment is quickly at its end, exactly four weeks to the day that it began.
I interviewed for a job yesterday, was offered the job this afternoon, and accepted forthwith. Funny, though, as with nearly every other job I’ve ever had, its not in my “area” of expertise. You try getting a job in theoretical physics with only a master’s degree. If you find one, you’re a liar.
Anyway.
I still say this is an awful economy, and certainly the worst job market since the Great Depression by far. I dodged a bullet and got lucky. It also helps that I haven’t not had a job since practically 1994, so that helped a lot.
And hey, I may find out the job I just got sucks ass through a Dixie straw.
But at least for tonight, I’m going to get plastered in a celebratory way, watch my alma mater crush those Duke bastards in the Tobacco Road Showdown after I watch Syracuse crush Georgetown, and we’ll just see what tomorrow brings.
So, now that the pittling details of my own existence are out of the way, is it really a two man race between Santorum and Romney?
Did I wake up in the God damn Twilight Zone?
Is Rod Serling already preparing my existential eulogy?
Okay.

    Congrats on the (hopefully) gainful employment. Hard to keep a good man down.

    Congratulations. I guess I didn’t realize you were a masters degree physicist. I seem to collect your type, somehow. Never mind. Hope you enjoy(ed) the party. Hope more that you can at least find some pleasure in your new work. Be well.
