re: #47 Vicious Babushka

ENTITLED. WHITE. BOY.

My husband and most of his counterparts are white, as are the couple of retired senior enlisted guys he knows. Most of them are having a hell of a time finding jobs. They all went through the month-long separation class, have advanced degrees, expertise, TS-SCI level clearance, and outfits like BAH barely give them the courtesy of a “we got your resume” email. And forget about USAJOBS. It’s the place applications go to die, apparently. Applying for federal jobs requires writing pages of shit, responses to each … can’t remember what my husband calls them, and these guys faithfully do it, for no reason. So my husband is still active duty.

We just discussed PRISM. He didn’t know much about it because they aren’t allowed to even read published news articles about stuff like that on government computers, and he’s been working his typical 14 hour days. He choked on his sandwich and then started laughing when he heard the guy was a sysadmin and making $122K a year. Like, “well hell, I know who I’m sending my next 10 resumes to if they pay that for easy shit like sysadmin.” All you can do is laugh, I guess.
