Job Hunt / The Importance of May 24th

Thought I'd update you fine folks. As most of you know none of the partners in CEP makes a red cent off her, it all goes to the creators we work with and back into the company so I've been living on my G.I. Bill and getting my learn on.  Buuut time's being what they are I need a job. The G.I. Bill just doesn't pay that much and is subject to the whims of Congress and a massive bureaucracy. Anyway the point is I need a damn job. Last time I worked a real job was The Nightmare Job from HELL with the Infamous Psychotic Supervisor.

Anyway.

So, back in March I started the process of applying to the Transportation Security Administration at Seatac. I passed everything, the Computer Based Test, interview, security check, and nearly all of the physical. That is, they didn't find anything to disqualify me but I  had to, of course, disclose my hypothyroidism and the medication I take for it yadda yadda.
They put me on medical hold. I have to show that I'm within normal limits while on medication. Problem is my medication has been undergoing adjustment since I was first diagnosed in October. I have another blood test on the 24th, and if that shows normal limits they'll take me off medical hold and stick me in the candidate's pool. I'll probably still end up waiting who knows how long before being actually hired and trained.

Also, I just got an email saying the applications I filled out a billion years ago to be a clerk at a state run liquor store has been short listed. I've filled out the pre-interview questionnaire and am now waiting to hear back.
I'm not picky, I'll just take one that lets me pay my bills, really.

In addition to all that I've been filling out at least one job application a day for anything I might remotely qualify for. No joy.

So if anyone needs a vacancy filled drop me a line... ;)
