From Woodlawn with Love

So it's been over a week since I completed all of the required paperwork for the SSA position. I called my contact there last week and was assured that the grants office would move on my case since the disability determination office would really like me to start. I called today to check on progress and was told that once the grants and acquisitions office approves me, then I need to pass a security check. I knew it! That jaunt through the "abandoned" missile base back in 1970 is going to come back and bite me! I hope they don't flutter (spy jargon-subject to a lie detector) me. I wonder how much waterboarding I could endure? Everyone breaks under questioning-it's just a question of how long one can hold out. It's important to stick to your legend no matter what. I never told you all, but I did apply to the CIA two years ago for a medical officer position. Haven't heard a thing yet. My sense is that they're doing a very thorough background search before I'm formally approached. Perhaps I am a little old to participate in mokroye delo , but I do possess certain talents (which I am not at liberty to discuss here) that would be invaluable to The Company.

Well, I sent an email off to SSA and hope to motivate them a bit. Ha!
