Well... fuck.
Nine months.
NINE MONTHS.
For NOTHING.
I got hold of the HR guy for the job I’ve been waiting to process through since May.
They’ve rewritten the department’s mission statement (probably in the wake of having no budget, but who knows), and will no longer be filling my position. I should be getting the official letter in the next few days.
“But they’re listing for a lot of jobs in that facility, there’s at least 12!” Yeah, fuck you HR guy. That dept is the ONLY dept I had a fucking chance of getting a job in with my very focused credentials.
Nine months for nothing.
Guess I don’t need to take a holding action job anymore. Now to weigh the other options. Scarily, right now, an Army Comission is right up there in the options. I might even be able to swing a direct commission. Also some other things in the running that are poorly defined still. But I'm pretty positive I plan to leave academia.
But right now, I just want to cry.
