Stuck on Alcatraz
I’ve been a little quiet lately … I’ve been planning my escape. Unfortunately I didn’t get further than my foot halfway through a door. It did feel a bit liberating, and the thought of actually leaving was extremely frightening. Last month I applied for another position that would have brought home nearly $1000 more a month, whisked me away to another atmosphere, and would have kept these idle hands busy. (You know how idle hands are the devil’s tools) I aced the written and oral tests, was the #1 candidate – but that still left me with two other people to interview against at the final showdown. I was the top pick of the woman who I’d be replacing, but alas, I didn’t make the director’s cut.
I’m just going to keep my chin up and continue serving my sentence in this little slice of hell. With that I need to find some more mischief to get my devil’s tools into.

Once as a corporate dweller, my boss said I didn't talk very much at sales meetings. I told him that "better to be quiet and thought ignorant, than speak and confirm the same". Anyway, don't sweat the small stuff. And $1000 a month and a new home is worth the effort. Good luck.

I had the same thing happen to me a while back Dweller. In fact I once had the job before and was proficient at it. But EEOC made them have to post the position they were gonna give the other person anyway. It' s all the Good Ol Boy network sometimes, at least was in my case.
