The Recession Strikes Back

Good news everyone! You're going to read this in the voice of Professor Farnsworth!

*siiiiigh*

This summer I was planning on working one of two jobs: either for BU orientation, or as an intern chemist at Hospira back home.

Hospira sent me an e-mail today thanking me for my interest and notifying me that the program has been cancelled. Great.

Now my only opportunity, as far as I can see it, for very necessary summer employment is BU orientation, which isn't exactly the easiest job to land. 200+ applicants. 45 positions. You do the math.

If that doesn't go through, it looks like I'll be back in Kansas for the summer delivering pizzas again or doing some other menial minimum-wage job. Awesome.

I have officially been screwed over by the economy.

What glorious news awaits me next week? Mom gets laid off of work? Some sort of blight destroys our wheat crop? A pterodactyl flies into my room? Who knows? Tune in next week!

PS: Keep it coming, Murphy. I'm not dead yet.

Hang in there. It will work out....maybe not what you wished for, but you will find something that you need. It's the Rolling Stones philosophy: "You can't always get what you want...."

@booksnstuff - 

Very possible. Perhaps something will come up. It's just very uncertain at this point.

...yeah, I'm still "employed" by Shoe Carnival, except I haven't gotten any pay or hours for three weeks and there are six other people in my position, too.

Joy.

I  always maintain that I made my best money driving pizza.  The only drawback is that it was cash-in-hand tips so I wasn't disciplined enough to save it.

And what exactly is bad luck about a pterodactyl flying into your room?  Number 1- AWESOME!  Number 2- I could find a long list of scientific institutions willing to pay top dollar for a pterodactyl.  Number 3- I can give you an even longer list of entertainment institutions willing to pay even more for a pterodactyl.

"You hear that, winged one? We'll be okay!" "SKWAAAAAAAAAAAAANK" *bites off my head* But true. It maybe wouldn't be such a negative thing. And if it comes down to Pizza it does. I just hate hate HATE doing the dishes/cleaning.

Maybe you didn't. It's classic of your style though.
