Got a phone call today from the head of staff for a smaller guvment agency. I applied for a job there as info manager for all the buerocratic, politic and technocratic bullshit they have to make readable for normal people, which is exactly what I want to do when I grow up. Plus, the pay was awesome. But I never thought I'd even get to an interview, since I haven't got a finished education and no pror experience in the field. But they booked me for a job interview last week anyway, and now they called.
"Mr L? We've now reviewed the interviews and made a desicion. Can you start after the midsummer weekend?"
Needless to say, I didn't have any problem with that.
25 minutes later, while I was pouring up the victory drink, the phone rang again.
"Mr L? I'm sorry, there's been a policy change, due to a parlament desicion, this entire agency is being closed. So not only can't we offer you the job, we'll have to start looking for new jobs ourselves."
"Wait a minute" I said, "Are you saying that you didn't know this, or that there even was a risk for it, half an hour ago?"
"Welcome to my frustration."
All hail government buerocracy, where the right hand don't know what the left is doing.
