470

i just completed my application for "illinois state police forensic science technician trainee."

now thats a fucking mouthful.

i feel confident that my application will be accepted, ill pass the written test and ill be a selectee for a panel interview. i also feel abundantly confident that i will either fail the polygraph exam by lying about drug usage or pass the polygraph and lose the job due to being truthful about my drug history.

i havent smoked in a month and i havent used coke or any of the harder goodies for more than a year. unfortunately i think government jobs require no marijuana usage for the past three years.

i guess time will tell the tale.

im starting to search for a new job much more aggressively especially in light of jewel's new union contract proposal. if you look in the cocktionary under "abysmal" you will find a picture of our as yet to be ratified, shit-laden, fist-down-my-throat contract.

employees will not receive a contract raise until the middle of 2007; when the "raise" finally does take effect it will be to the tune of a motherfucking quarter per fatherfucking hour.

$0.25/hr.

i havent received a raise since 2004; eight and a third cents per year is frighteningly preposterous and nothing short of insulting.

"heres a thimble full of 87 octane for yah, sonny."


i voted "no" and sealed the envelope with a drop of piss.

Forensics...I always wanted to do that...but one sight of blood and I'm down for the count.

If you seal an envelope back to your employer with a drop of piss...I think it's time to move on. Brilliant idea by the way.

im almost certain my light came on because of a piston misfire. the usual sequence is something like 1-3-5-7-2-4-6-8; every now and then one of my pistons either fails to fire or fires in an incorrect sequence. this has occurred multiple times and it always flags the check engine light.

ive also had the light come on due to a faulty O2 sensor.

in both instances the repairs were less than a hundred bucks. this time around im not even going to bother taking my truck to the shop. it has nearly 120,000 miles on it so good old george is probably running on borrowed time anyway.

fyi in illinois you cant get your emissions tested with your engine light illuminated. luckily i just had my test a few months ago.
