Court Clerk Callback

[dreiser]

I got the call!

Well, I got the message on my cell phone, that is. Natalie from the St. Louis County Circuit Court left a message asking me to call her back and to me that means I've got the job. Because traditionally people don't ask you to call back after an interview just to tell you that the position is no longer available. They usually don't call at all or send you a form letter saying you're shit out of luck.

Which means that right now I'm scared as fuck. I do know that I must ask her two things when I call her tomorrow:

1) What my monthly salary would be.

2) If court employees, who are working for the state, receive a regular raise every year by 2-3% like federal employees.

If the answer to the first question is I'll get pay equal to what I'm making now and the answer to the second is a firm yes then I'm taking the job despite the fact it's located in the source of all satanic parking problems in St. Louis. Because it would mean I'm finally at a fucking job where I'm guaranteed to get some advancement whether it be in actual position or fucking money. The parking still kills me though. I have to ask one of my friends who is Metrolink oriented to help me out and take a field trip to the closest station to my house and then the court to find out how bad of a trek that would actually be every day. Any takers out there? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Hah.

In other local news, it's supposed to snow like crazy tonight/tomorrow. Which baffles me since today it was sunny and lovely and 70 degrees. The weather is a puzzling phenomena which I shall never understand and therefore I choose to hate it. Especially the concept of driving on Olive Blvd in a shitload of snow.

Why in the next decade? Are you going to school for Criminal Justice or the like?

Don't apologize for random comments! I think almost all comments in life are random and the whole point of me having a Livejournal, besides having my sad ass life chronicled on the web where most people don't care to read it, is to meet and talk to other people. And getting out of your shell is always a good thing.

A longtime reader of my fanfic, huh? Thanks for the support! I always appreciate people reading my drabble. I might not be writing fanfic for awhile but if you want you can always check out my recap website The Nerdiest Girl (http://nerdiestgirl.typepad.com/the_nerdiest_girl/) or my upcoming manga review website if you like my piddling writings.

Hopefully you find the stuff there amusing for that is the point of me writing it. To amuse. Or to attempt to amuse at least.

Ha, I wish I knew what I was doing, education-wise! Honestly I can't see myself majoring in anything law or justice related, but there might be a possible minor I'd consider. Who knows, I've only changed majors around 392928364 times since I started. I do have this weird interest in the law and legislation, though. I don't know, I kind of want to have about 10 different careers. I should really focus on picking one at some point.

Glad I didn't scare ya too badly, I always feel strange and stalker-ish leaving comments for people. Did I mention I'm weird? Ha. No, but seriously, I am.

The Nerdiest Girl is awesome, I actually just went and read it. I'm not too into manga yet, although I have a bunch of friends in town that are, so I'm sure I'll read your reviews on the new site. Your writing style actaully reminds me a lot of my own (aside from the fact that I suck at it, of course) so it's a lot of fun for me to read your stuff. And indeed, it's amusing. And great.

Okay, I'm done rambling now. I tend to do that, sorry.
