The Spy Who Blogged Me
In between phone calls to my egg this morning, I got a call from the CIA, asking if I was still interested in a position as Language Officer, which I applied for in a fit of desperation and with a thirst for adventure several months ago. Generally my response to this question would be "yes." In the interest of not counting that chicken while it's still in the egg stage, I'm still lining up interviews with interested universities and all. However, at this point - what with all the raining and pouring and whatnot - I think I can afford to be picky and actually limit my follow-ups to study abroad offices. For a moment I thought "What the hell" but then I decided the interview process would probably involve them doing a lot of poking around my personal life and we've already got enough FBI men in our bushes, thankyouverymuch.
In other news, I kind of wish that I'd applied and interviewed for a job at Indiana University¹ just so that they would call me back after I get a job offer and I could respond, "I'm sorry Indiana wants me, but I can't go back there."

¹ Not that I actually saw a posting for any such job - this is all in my imagination.

Back when I was a fresh-faced Albion College graduate, I almost applied for a CIA job, thinking that it has to be totally awesome to work for the CIA, even though they have to have the most hideous background check process ever. I'm still kind of mad that I didn't, though, because seriously, I could be a spy by now.

The problem with telling people you want a job / applied for a job at the CIA is once they give you the job you have to make up a story as to how you did get the job / didn't want the job / got some other job.
I think this is one of those stories to throw us off the scent...
PS - I heard her job is in the mind control division. (And I'm really in the mood for some Cheesecake brownies...)
CIA! Why would you turn that down? I wish you would get a job with them so I can say I know someone in the CIA! Or would you tell us if you worked for them?
