Where's my Sideways Path to a Magic World?
Just when I start getting my notifications for comments again, LJ is attacked. I've managed to load the firs page of my friendslist once today. *sigh* I miss you folks!
So, I went to a job interview today. I'm not holding my breath for the results; it's in an area of law that I have no experience in. However, the ladies I was talking to seemed comfortable that I could do the work, so I'm not writing it off either. Of course, last time I was looking intensively, one lawyer told me he was certain I could do the job--and that there were another 25 people he was sure could do the job who he'd also interviewed.
Then I get home and read:
Just in his mid-20s, Brian Deschane has no college degree, very little management experience and two drunken-driving convictions.
Yet he has landed an $81,500-per-year job in Gov. Scott Walker's administration overseeing environmental and regulatory matters and dozens of employees at the Department of Commerce. Even though Walker says the state is broke and public employees are overpaid, Deschane already has earned a promotion and a 26% pay raise in just two months with the state.
The rest of the story is here: http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/noquarter/119159584.html The author's theory is that he got the job because his father donated big time to the Walker campaign. Even without knowing about his father's deep pockets, with all the unemployed people out there, I'd have trouble believing he was the most qualified applicant.
*sigh*
In better news, tomorrow I get to go vote. Here's hoping the people who stayed home when Walker got elected have realized that voting matters.
A girl's gotta dream.
