Employment Update

So thanks to my friend Crystal, I have a job at Target.  Which just proves that it's not what you know, it's who you know.  Which doesn't seem right to me.  I mean, didn't the patronage system supposedly disappear around the turn of the 19th century?  But I don't care.  I'm employed and will be starting work next week.  It's not a big salary, but it's more than I'm getting now, yeah?

I got confirmation that being a graduate student makes you unemployable in the real world.  "Because if you're smart," I was told, "they think you're going to get bored and move on."  Which is the biggest pile of BS I've ever heard of.  Would I be applying if I didn't want the job???  I mean, really!!!

Arg.
