camwynI nearly forgot. I mailed you your movie yesterday. I don't think it looks too much like an anthrax package, so it should get there okay, but I had to use an envelope twice the necessary size. It got folded double and taped shut, so if the envelope is a little mangled where the tape gave way, don't be surprised.
Mrph. Staff meeting this morning. Last class of my master's degree this afternoon. What comes next? Trying to find a place to live, I guess... as much as I want to work somewhere that pays better, I need to keep a job in service somehow. I've worked for corporations, and they tend to give me the creeps; it's awfully easy to become the Forgotten Employee if you just give it a little bit of setup effort. I've worked for small companies - five to twenty people. They're not too bad. But I'd feel better about myself and my life if I were to stay in service work, be it Red Cross or government service. Thing is, I'm planning on going to Alaska in September... I can't really look for a new job unless it starts after that. What employer would be fool enough to hire me and let me go on vacation within a few months? Not gonna happen. I'll settle for finding an apartment and a roommate, and looking for a new job after that. Although I may well submit my resume to the Feds online, I understand it takes them forever to get around to reviewing sometimes...
That disturbance you feel in the Force is the sound of thirty-two high school classmates crying out in terror, then being silenced, as they learn that there is a real possibility the person voted Most Likely To Be Kidnapped By Aliens might wind up working for Uncle Sam - ahead of the person who carried pictures of Richard Nixon in her wallet and planned to run for President as soon as she turned 35.
Yes, I was voted Most Likely To Be Kidnapped By Aliens. In eighth grade rather than high school - we didn't do the Most Likely stuff at my high school - but still. And this was in 1988, before X-Files made it cool.
