not 1, not 3! but 2! a DIUU tale about red tape


*UPDATE: uhhh, yeah, so about 8 hours after i wrote this, the HR department called me to schedule my orientation. so with that said, enjoy this now meaningless rant! also, I GOT A JOB!!!!!*

one of the big reasons a north carolina university will not have it's name emblazoned across the topm of my law school diploma is that i have become fed up with entrusting any part of my success or failure in other peoples hands. each school i applied to in my home state gave me the same answer: impressive application, but LSAC didn't send in letters from recommendors, so thanks for coming, and we'd really really like to admit you but we're gonna call your application incomplete. REALLY!

same thing is going on with this job i'm going for. oh, i applied for, interviewed for, and was ESSENTIALLY HIRED BY the interviewers. well, i figured i had my bases covered. needed to recommendations, got 3. three. but, they needed one from my former boss, so i call her up, and guess what? she says she'll write me a nice one! so i keep checking in, and she informs me that she's done it and everything. only problem is, the hr department, (they requested her recommendation) doesn't have a completed one from her, they say, so guess what? I CAN'T START THE JOB THAT I EARNED THROUGH MY OWN MERITS BECAUSE SOME EFFN RED TAPE BS CAN'T GET SORTED OUT! ain't life grand?

peachy
