Gah. I'm tired of looking at my stupid mug... let's move it down the page a bit, shall we?

Yesterday, I finally heard back about the job. Lord Almighty. I don't know if you've ever sought employment with a state office but you have to set aside like half of your life just to sit and wait. Then you mail a form. And then you wait some more. And then you mail that same form again, along with two copies. Then? More waiting. 15 years later, you've got a job!

Well.. I will have a job... after the drug test comes back in another week. And then I don't actually start till the middle of August. OH MY LORD SO MUCH WAITING!

The position I wanted the very most is still in process but I've grown old and wrinkly and need to move on BUT please please please could I please wait a while longer so they can get their act together? No. Sorry, I can't. Mama needs to buy a loaf of bread. Good thing I have a few more design jobs lined up before then cause it would be a little sad if I had to go on gov't assistance while waiting to get my first paycheck from DHS, don't ya think?

Yesterday, I sat in the drug testin' waiting room with the man who drove this truck:
Tulsa World Story

News Channel 6

His arm was scratched up, but he was in remarkably un-dead condition for having just flipped an exploding truck full of sulfuric acid and bleach. I was glad to hear that the accident was caused by a tire blowout and not through any fault of his own. Way to go Chemical Truck Dude!

Oh and by the way, I highly recommend the National Occupational Health Services for all your drug testing needs. The staff is very professional and friendly... which is hard when you handle the urine of smack addicts for a living. They also had cute hair. The whole lot of 'em.

Good for you!
I feel like they do that to see if you can handle the bureaucracy once you actually start working.
What is the job exactly?

Man, I am trying to get on with the Health Region and they don't do any testing of any kind. I don't do drugs, but I find the notion offensive.

Hi, Lady. It was great getting to know you and Chris a bit tonight. Even if it was crazy with babies. :)

So I'm dead serious about crafting together. I see you're an apron gal and love your wooden plaques too. I'm so there.

Let's be friends. ;)
