Shoot me now...

I forgot to tell you girls, I got a job Well, said job requires a government security clearance and I'm going to DIE filling out this novel. They'll find me one day with the pen and paper still in my hand. I knew what I was getting into...I've watched two husbands () fill them out...but man...doing it myself is a different story!

I kind of forgot to mention it because I got the employment offer on the day when I was having my LEEP done, so I was offline...and it hasn't been on the exact forefront of my mind because I don't start until 4 wks from now

The company is Affiliated Computer Services and I'll be contracting for Homeland Security. Funniest thing is, Tabatha worked for them many moons ago, but she worked for the INS. I love that it's only 30 hours a week and it pays worth my while...so I can't complain...

Except I'm going to. These clearances take 3-12 months to get (I'll obviously start work without the actual clearance) and mine will for sure take 12 months with all the blanks I'm having to leave. Ummm, sorry I don't stay in contact with my 1st grade teacher's uncle.

It's a shame they don't ask for internet acquaintances. I'd use every single one of you! I have WAY more of those than the other stuff they're asking for. I can't remember my next-door-neighbor's name from 2002. I've had two kids since then. I'm so toast.

OOOOO, those forms are the worst! Luckily I did one when I was 19 so didn't have that much info to remember since I was so young and new to the world!!! That thing is a novel. But I am sure it is an e-form versus one you have to use a typewriter for so there is the positive side to it !
